Roosevelt's Little White House

Franklin Roosevelt built a home in Warm Springs, Georgia back in the 30's where they now have a FDR museum. They built a pool over the natural warm springs in the town because it was thought to "cure" FDR's polio. The pool is still in tact today but only filled and opened to the public twice a year to preserve it.

Could you imagine your husband wearing a swimsuit like this? I thought it was too funny.

One of his old cars. Because of his paralysis it was equipped with hand brake and gas controls for FDR.

The Little White House

FDR's TP from the 30's, still on the roll.

Another one of his cars, that he actually never drove.

While posing for a painted portrait in The Little White House, FDR collapsed and died shortly after in his bedroom in the home. This is the "unfinished portrait".

The warm springs pool, used not only for FDR but for many others as polio therapy. There is now a large modern rehab facility in Warm Springs for people with a variety of diseases from all around the world.
