January 20, 2021, was Inauguration Day and we marked the occasion by taking a look back at FDR's unprecedented four presidential inaugurals. Through the "At Home With The Roosevelts" series, Supervisory Curator Herman Eberhardt explored historic artifacts, documents, photographs, and film from the inaugural ceremonies of 1933, 1937, 1941, and 1945 (https://youtu.be/Hd7qNVABh0I).

Here is a selection from our Museum collection of objects highlighted in the program.
