While serving in office, President Franklin D. Roosevelt inventoried the
vast quantities of papers and other materials he and his staff had
accumulated. Up to that time, many Presidential papers and records had
either been lost, destroyed, sold for profit, or ruined by poor storage
conditions.
President Roosevelt sought a viable solution. Advised by a number of
noted historians and scholars, he established a public repository to
preserve the evidence of the Presidency for future generations.
Beginning a tradition that continues to this day, Roosevelt raised funds
from private resources for the new facility and then designated its
operation by the United States government through the National
Archives.
This Tour takes you by Deluxe Motorcoach through the American
Midwest at the height of Fall Foliage as you travel to FIVE Presidential
Libraries, immersing yourself in our country's astounding beauty and rich
heritage.
