Rooselvelt's Little White
House
Franklin Delano Roosevelt built the Little White House in 1932 while governor of New York, prior to being inaugurated as
president in 1933. He first came to Warm Springs in 1924 hoping to find a cure for the infantile paralysis (polio) that had
struck him in 1921. Swimming in the warm, buoyant spring waters brought him no miracle cure, but it did bring improvement.
During FDR’s presidency and the Great Depression, he developed many New Deal Programs (such as the Rural
Electrification Administration) based upon his experiences in this small town.
American Chestnut Foundation
This chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation has been founded to bring about the restoration of the American
Chestnut tree as a prominent part of Georgia forests by assisting the national foundation in its propagation efforts; by

American Chestnuts.
Sprewell Bluff State Park
This little-known gem on the Flint River is the perfect location for a daytime getaway. Visitors can cool off in the gently flowing river, skip rocks across the water, picnic on the river’s edge or toss horseshoes in a grassy field. A three-mile trail winds along the bank and up rocky bluffs, offering excellent views from high above the river.
Pine Mountain Trail
The Pine Mountain Trail, a 23 mile footpath that crosses and follows the beautiful Pine Mountain ridge, offers clear crisp views of distant ridges in winter, with occasional snowfall, to the lush greens of summer ferns and foliage of lowland flora. Wildflowers are abundant and spring brings flowering dogwood, native azalea, mountain laurel and rhododendron. Fall brings bright and beautiful colors, changing from day to day. With the connector trails that form seven loops there are over 40 miles of hiking trails for your enjoyment.
The Pine Mountain region of Georgia is made up of a series of peaks and valleys far removed from the north Georgia mountains. It’s an area of great ecological diversity, rich history, and lots of opportunities for outdoor recreation.
