Theodore Roosevelt Island, formerly known as My Lord's Island, Barbadoes, Mason's Island and Analostan Island, is a national memorial located in the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. and was the gift to the American people of the Theodore Roosevelt Association in memory of the 26th US president, Theodore Roosevelt. The site features a statue of Roosevelt in a memorial plaza — the surrounding landscape of the island is maintained as a natural park. The island lies just north of Columbia Island and can be accessed by a bridge leading to a paved trail and bike path that connects Columbia Island to the banks of the Potomac facing D.C. from Virginia. A small island named "Little Island" lies just off the southern tip. On the eastern shore at about the half-way point of the island, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts can be seen.
