Visiting Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Little White House in Warm Springs, GA

Searching for relief from polio, Franklin D. Roosevelt first came to Warm Springs in 1924 to swim in the springs’ naturally heated water. Enchanted with the area, he built a simple vacation cottage on the side of Pine Mountain while running for president in 1932. He spent many hours visiting neighbors and learning of their difficulties, which provided him with inspiration for his New Deal policies. While posing for a portrait in his den, FDR suffered a stroke and died on April 12, 1945, near the end of World War II. This “Unfinished Portrait” is on display exactly as the artist left it.
