Little White House Warm Springs GA
Franklin D. Roosevelt came to Warm Springs in 1924 in hopes of recovering from the effects of polio.  His love for the area and hopes for the Georgia Warm Springs
Foundation led him to build a small white clapboard cottage on these pine scented slopes.  The house was completed in 1932 while FDR was Governor of
New York.  During FDR's four elected terms as the 32nd President the cottage became known as the "Little White House".The cost  was $8,738 including landscaping. FDR died here
 of a massive stroke as he was sitting for a portrait.
