The Little White House was the personal retreat of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, located in the Historic District of Warm Springs, Georgia.

[2] He first came to Warm Springs (formerly known as Bullochville) in 1924 for polio treatment, and liked the area so much that, as Governor of New York, he had a home built on nearby Pine Mountain.

Residents of Georgia, particularly Savannah, began spending vacations at Bullochville in the late 18th century as a way to escape yellow fever, attracted by the number of warm springs in the vicinity.

Five years later, in 1932, after winning the presidency for the first time, he ordered a six-room Georgia pine house to be built on the property.

In total, he made 16 trips there during his presidency, usually spending two to three weeks at a time, as it took a day to reach Warm Springs from Washington, D.C. by train.

[6] Roosevelt used the Little White House as a base to replace Georgia politicians who refused to follow his policies.

One major change was that soldiers from Fort Benning were stationed at the Little White House to patrol the woods surrounding the farm.

According to some observers at Warm Springs, Roosevelt looked "ghastly" and his usual cordial waves to the residents were weak.

[6] Today, the Little White House is part of Georgia's state park system and is open to visitors.
