Franklin D. Roosevelt Monument
Franklin D. Roosevelt Monument
-
Monument to Franklin D. Roosevelt on the grounds of the Hall
County Courthouse square in Gainesville, Ga. On this side, the following
dates are inscribed:
-
APRIL 9, 1936
NOV 25, 1937
-
The first date is the day Roosevelt visited Gainesville following
a terribly destructive tornado that hit the city three days earlier. The
second date presumably is the day that the monument was dedicated.
-
-
On the reverse side of the monument is a historical plaque
that tells about Roosevelt's involvement in helping Gainesville recover
from the tornado. (Click here
