Theodore Roosevelt Island sits in the Potomac River near the Key Bridge. While the only way to reach the island by land is from the Virginia side of the river, the island is actually part of Washington, DC. Theodore Roosevelt managed to be both a man of action and a man of information. He studied birds, wrote a history of the War of 1812, and devoured hundreds of books a year. He even wrote A Book-lover's Holidays in the Open to answer the frequently asked question, "What do you read when you're out adventuring?"
In that spirit, we invite you to learn about the park.
