Theodore Roosevelt Museum Planned

The Theodore Roosevelt Association plans to build a museum and research center in Roosevelt's name, and three communities are hoping to attract the attraction: Oyster Bay, N.Y., Cambridge, Mass. and Washington, D.C.

Roosevelt was a pioneer when it comes to conservation and environmental protection. As president, he preserved 230 million acres of the American landscape in some of the most unique parks on Earth -- Crater Lake National Park in Oregon and Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, and the Grand Canyon in Arizona (which he made a National Monument) among them.
