Why you should go…

Franklin D. Roosevelt built this six-room Georgia pine house in 1932, years after first coming to Warm Springs in 1924 for polio treatment, and he died here on April 12, 1945. The museum shows his 1938 Ford convertible with hand controls, his stagecoach and the Unfinished Portrait he was sitting for that day. You can also walk the Flags and Stones of America Walk on the grounds. For now the house, servant quarters and guest house are closed for renovation, while the museum and grounds stay open.
