Warm Springs – Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Little White House

In 1932, after winning the presidency for the first time, Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a six-room Georgia pine house to be built on his property in Warm Springs, GA. This house was his retreat throughout his presidency and became known as the Little White House. During FDR’s presidency and the Great Depression, he developed many New Deal Programs based upon his experiences in this small town. Our FDR dogwood grew from a tree that stands on the property of the Little White House in Warm Springs.
