Historian Geoffrey Ward visits the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library often for research. He feels like he steps into the former president's own world there.

Franklin D. Roosevelt started the idea for presidential libraries many years ago. These important places are good for learning, research, and many visitors.

Each library shows the president's own life and his time in office. Private money helps fund them, so they often highlight only good things.
