Theodore Roosevelt Island, VA

Theodore Roosevelt Island is a wooded island that provides a fitting memorial to the outdoorsman, naturalist and visionary who was 26th President of the United States. The island has a diverse history and was once a summer resort for wealthy Virginians. Today, all visitors to the island can pay tribute to Roosevelt’s conservation ethics, which resulted in over 234 million acres set aside as national parks, forests, monuments and wildlife refuges.
