Without a doubt, my favorite display in the FDR Library/Museum is the area that contains the desk and chairthat FDR used in the White House. The worn fabric on the arms of the chair, I find especiallymoving.
Also in this area are panels with the Four Freedoms, and the Presidential portrait (just like my jigsaw, but fancier frame.)
Whimsical collection of donkeys,elephants, pigs, Scottie, WestiePigs were a favorite
Adjacent to this area is a short film showingFDR’s Funeral, April 12-15, 1945. From Warm Springs, to Washington, to Hyde Park. If video does not load, copy url. https://youtu.be/v8SqjT-Mqew
