The Theodore Roosevelt Monument, perched on a grassy knoll in Tenafly, NJ, is a sight to behold. It's not every day you see a marbled figure of our 26th President, arms wide open, and a chiseled teddy bear beneath his feet, flexing like a bodybuilder. This ain't no cuddly toy, it's ready to rumble. Underneath Roosevelt's feet, you'll find his wise words inscribed on a scroll: 'Speak softly, and carry a big stick'. Just over a decade ago, on September 20, 2006, this monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
