Old Depot Site Warm Springs
Here stood the little depot of the Southern R. R. where Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived & departed on his many visits to Warm Springs during the years 1924-1945.
A personal interest in the after treatment of infantile paralysis led him, in 1924, to the thermal springs at Pine Mtn., the helpful aid of which inspired him to establish the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation to combat infantile paralysis on a national level.
During his presidency of the United States, his Georgia home was the Little White House where he departed this life, April 12, 1945.
Marker is at the intersection of White House Parkway (Georgia Route 85) and Spring Street (U.S. 27), on the right when traveling north on White House Parkway.
