Visit Warm Springs!

The little town that hosts the warm springs has changed dramatically since Franklin D. Roosevelt's time. In fact, Roosevelt probably would not recognize today's Warm Springs Village, which underwent a major renovation in the 1980s. More than 60 specialty stores offer shoppers everything from furniture and accesories to fine collectibles, crafts and antiques. Warm Springs Village also has several historic restaurants. Visitors can stay at the Hotel Warm Springs, built in 1907, where foreign diplomats, Hollywood celebrities, Secret Service agents and members of the press stayed during FDR's time. Stop by today and enjoy this unique atmosphere! More about Warm Springs!

FDR Statue at Dowdell's Knob

FDR's favorite retreat was Dowdell's Knob in what is now the State Park. On this rocky outcropping, he entertained his closest friends using a grill that remains on the site. He also came here alone to grapple with issues like World War II and the Depression. Dowdell's Knob is where FDR felt most at home and is one of the few places where he felt no need to hide his disability. Martin Dawe, the well-known Atlanta-based sculptor has conceived a unique statue: the only one that exposes the president’s leg braces. Placing the sculpture on Dowdell’s Knob allows visitors to sit beside the president at the very place where he conceived many of the ideas that have continued to shape our country.
