United States, Georgia, Meriwether County, Warm Springs, 32.89041, -84.68104Minchew, Kaye Lanning2004-09-27Encyclopedia article about Franklin D. Roosevelt in Georgia. Between 1924 and 1945 Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Warm Springs and Georgia forty-one times. In the early years, he spent his days exercising at the pools at the Warm Springs resort as he tried to rebuild his leg muscles from the debilitating effects of polio. After being elected as the thirty-second president of the United States in 1932, he used his new home at Warm Springs, "The Little White House," as a retreat from the rigors of leading a nation through the Great Depression. He died there in 1945. To a generation of west Georgians, he was both the president and a trusted friend who could be seen waving as he passed by in his convertible or rode by in a train on his way to the nation's capital.GSE identifier: SS8H8, SS8H8text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Presidents--Dwellings--Georgia--Warm SpringsPresidents--United StatesRoosevelt, Franklin D.
