Theodore Roosevelt Monument
Theodore Roosevelt Monument, Presidential memorial in Tenafly, United States.
The Theodore Roosevelt Monument in Tenafly is a two-sided limestone sculpture with portrait carvings and animal figures, featuring central bears standing 14 feet (4.3 meters) high. The structure dominates its surroundings with imposing size and detailed ornamental work on both sides.
The monument was completed in 1928 after Malcolm and Jennie Mackay created it as a gift and donated 28 acres of land for the site. The couple wanted to honor Roosevelt's legacy in the region.
The monument displays Roosevelt's passion for wildlife and the outdoors through its animal carvings and natural setting. Visitors encounter this connection between the political leader and nature directly in the stone sculptures.
The site sits in a park with open access and is easy to reach on foot, allowing visitors to view the sculpture from different angles. The surrounding grounds are designed with open spaces that make photography and exploration straightforward.
The landscaping was designed by Marjorie Sewell Cautley, a pioneer in landscape architecture, who seamlessly integrated the monument into the surrounding natural environment. Her approach transformed the site into more than a memorial, creating a park in harmony with the landscape.
