• The memorial’s exhibit area offers various exhibits including tactile elements and assistive listening systems, and a real-life version of FDR’s wheelchair.
• There are three sets of assistive listening systems in the exhibit area. Each has one hand-held speaker that must be placed against an ear. They are connected to the panel with a cord that cannot be moved far. Visitors must navigate buttons on a panel to change volume, pause, play, and skip.
