Pine Mt. RV Park, Pine Mt. GA:  Went to FDR’s Little White House today in Warm Springs, GA.  Stopped and had breakfast first in Pine Mt.  Then took the scenic drive through Roosevelt State Forest.  Lots of hiking trails in there.  Wanted to dust off my hiking boots and go for a hike. The Little White House is a cute and very modest little house on top of a hill with a pretty view.  FDR built the house in 1932 while governor of New York.  He first came to Warm Springs in 1924 hoping to find a cure for polio that had struck him in 1921.  The warm waters didn’t provide a cure, but it did help some.  After visiting the Little White House, we fueled up the truck and went back to our park.  Tomorrow we leave for Nashville for a couple of days.  73 today.

This is an overlook near the Little White House where FDR liked to come and sit quietly and maybe have a picnic.  A picnic to him was linen-draped tables with silver service.

FDR had this grill built on this spot to make picnics easier.  The view is of the Pine Mt. valley.  A beautiful spot.

The Little White House.  All the furniture was built at Val Kil, the furniture factory that Eleanor Roosevelt started to help employ people who were out of work.  The house has a big deck in back that looks out over a forested area.  He loved sitting out there.  He suffered a stroke in this house while posing for a portrait which was never finished.  He died a couple of days after.  

This picture was taken from the porch of the Little White house.  The building on the left was the garage and servant quarters.  The building on the right was the guest house.
