little white house

二战以后第一任总统杜鲁门的度假处，内部装饰还是比30年前的海明威豪宅要更好看些，导游会带领参观1小时，不许照相，有牌桌什么的还挺有意思的

Allow at least 3 hours to do this site justice. Friendly, helpful staff. An honor to explore the perfectly preserved little cottage where FDR passed away.Take your time in the 2 other museums and watch the movie. Don't forget the historic pools down the hill, and have a look around the present day rehabilitation campus.

I heard my parents praise FDR all my life and welcomed the opportunity to see his home, the house he designed, in Warm Springs, which he treasured. There is a lot to see and the museum is worth it. We spent most of our limited time in the House itself with 2 very good guides. It was moving to see the place where he worked and played and finally died. Very moving to see his personal effects, letters, cars, leg braces, and the unfinished portrait. We were just passing through and are glad we did not skip the chance for a slight detour to Warm Springs. Sorry we did not have more time to see all of the property and the pool where he swam. When will we ever have another like him and Eleanor?

If you like FDR, then you should go by. Adults $12. There is an updated museum with a 12 minute movie. There is the walk of all the state flags and each state sent the state stone and of course the flag. The house is the house and very small 3 bedroom which looks like a full basement. One aspect you will work a way with, FDR was a leader regardless of where you side politically. It makes you long for leadership that inspires and motivates. Oh there is a gift shop with a lot of variety of things to buy.

Warm Springs is amazing and the little White House is a must visit when visiting historic warm springs Georgia. A small town with lots of history

I cannot believe that I have never visited this area before, given that I have spent a considerable time in Georgia. Now in my old age, and prompted by Ken Burns, I ventured to Warm Springs and am so much richer for it. The visit to the Roosevelt Rehab Institute, the little dot of a town called "Warm Springs", the museums, and a tour of the amazing Little White House left me overwhelmed and even more of an admirer of FDR, easily one of our best presidents ever. I must go back to see if what I experienced was for real or just a tourist fantasy. The Little White House is surprisingly small--but think about it. If one is confined to a wheel chair, the smaller the space to roll around, the better. Large rooms pose awful challenges to our friends in wheel chairs. Franklin Roosevelt came to life in this place. Before polio he was a New York snob and fairly unsophisticated about the United States other than New York state, Washington, DC, and the US Navy. Polio almost destroyed him physically and especially psychologically In Warm Springs, he was transformed by the waters and the company/support of many other "polios" from all parts of the county and socio-economic backgrounds. Here he learned about his own resourcefulness as well as about the real-life plights of many of our fellow Americans from rural and impoverished areas. I don't think Roosevelt ever would have been elected President without his rehabilitative and personal experiences in Warm Springs. Certainly he would not have developed the enormous pluck that was such a part of his persona--a persona that was contagious and infectious to his fellow beleaguered citizens. "Make no small plans" fits FDR to a tee. Five stars plus for this wonderful tourist experience! I will go again--and soon.

Warm Springs is a beautiful small town and the Little White House is remarkably well maintained. The furnishings are actually his own and the cottage was his own design. Very educational.

Adorable place to visit and FDR got it right. See the cottage he enjoyed escaping to so many times (41 times?) and also see where he passed away. Park staff are very friendly and knowledgable! Love the museum!!

Very educational my family loved it. My daughter learned a lot about the great depression. The grounds were well maintained and the staff was very polite.

The closes you will ever get to a president's life without being related. Staff was knowledgeable. I even hit them with some trivia. Loved it.

My 89 year old father, 15 year old son and I immensely enjoyed our day trip here from Atlanta. The home is very well maintained and the staff is friendly and knowledgable. What a great way for us all to learn some presidential history. It is an easy drive from Atlanta, and was a great thing to do with a World War 2 vet. We came home and watched parts of the Burns documentary. If you are inclined to engage with the staff, plan to spend a couple of hours here and at the springs.

Our visit to FDR's museum and Little White House historic site reminded my husband, son and I of what an incredible impact FDR continues to have on the lives of Americans, protecting the young, old, disabled and unemployed. Electrifying rural America. Inspiring the research to find a cure for polio and so much more. I had no idea his life and friendships in Warm Springs, GA, especially his exposure to the plight of area farmers and their families, had such an influence on the policies he promoted. A must-see for every American!

Having been to Hyde Park on several occasions, watched Ken Burn's documentary, and read Doris Kearns Goodwin's "No Ordinary Time," we were anxious to complete our FDR exposure with a visit to Warm Springs. Even a crusty Republican can find FDR and Eleanor fascinating.It was a wonderful visit. The State of Georgia deserves credit for its stewardship of the property and for the addition of the new FDR museum and gallery for the famous unfinished portrait.The visitor gains a great sense of the moment since FDR's cottage was frozen in time when we suffered a stroke and died there.I must point out the outstanding work of Charles Price who guided us through the cottage and was also on hand in the museum to answer an onslaught of questions. He is an great example to all state employees.

Very nicely maintained. Starts with a 12 minute film. The museum was full of artifacts especially from the time FDR stayed in Warm Springs. The tickets were $12 which got you into the Museum, The Little White House and the Warm Springs Pool (down the road). The White House was kept just as it was when FDR died there in 1945. Out of the way, but eat at the Bulloch House down the road and it will make the trip worth it.

This is a true hidden gem, if you like Presidential history then it is worth stopping in. Warm Springs is a cute little town, and the Little White House is a gem in honor of FDR. I really appreciated being able to go through it all at my own pace, yet having employees around the corner to ask questions if I had any. They have the Little White House, a museum, and a gift shop on site to explore all kept up very well.
