Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) Park, was designed in 1914 by the Olmsted Brothers landscape firm. This park was considered a remarkable work of land reclamation in its day with marshy land filled and imaginatively graded with curving roads, walks, lakes in the highest tradition of the romantic park design characteristic of the period. FDR park was used for a portion of the Sesqui -Centennial International Exposition which opened on May 31, 1926 and closed on November 30, 1926. The total fair covered about 1,000 acres, while the current park is about 350 acres. This tour will focus on the attractions on the north side of FDR Park, from the recently remodeled Gateway entrance to the American Swedish Historical Museum.
