Home > Little White House

The Little White House was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's retreat near Warm Springs, Georgia. He first came to Warm Springs for polio treatment, and liked the area so much that, while Governor of New York, he had a home built on nearby Pine Mountain. The house was finished in 1932.

Roosevelt kept the house after he became President, using it as a Presidential retreat.

The Little White House was the site of President Roosevelt's death. The house was opened to the public as a museum in 1948. A major attraction of the museum is the portrait that artist Elizabeth Shoumatoff was painting of him when he died, now known as the " Unfinished Portrait." It hangs near a finished portrait that Shoumatoff completed later from sketches and memory.
