President Roosevelt
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt suffered from a disease called Polio which struck him in 1921. President Roosevelt traveled to Warm Springs, Georgia in 1924 in search of a cure from the disease. He never found a cure, but he did find relief while swimming in the warm spring waters of Warm Springs, Georgia. In the year 1932, while he held the office of Governor of New York, President Roosevelt built a house near Warm Springs and Pine Mountain, Georgia. Today, the house is known as The Little White House.
In 1945 while residing in the home, President Roosevelt suffered a stroke which caused his death. President Roosevelt's Little White House has been well preserved. Visitors will find artifacts left much like he left them, right down to the toilet paper roll that is encased inside a clear plastic protective cover.
I love visiting historical sites and viewing artifacts, but I am skeptical about reproductions. I enjoy the real thing. When I view pieces of history, I don't want to see a replica, I want to see the original. I made sure to ask the attendant about the authenticity of the artifacts. He informed me that all artifacts inside and on the grounds of the Little White House properties are authentic.
We were permitted to take photographs, but we were not permitted to use a flash; therefore, some of the following photographs are a little dark. I hope you enjoy them anyway.
If you are ever in the Middle Georgia area, be sure to plan a trip to this historically authentic place.

Thank you Donna. I think I was most fascinated by the toilet paper roll. It looked as if it would crinkle like pieces of fine glass if you touched it. It was a little difficult to see President Roosevelt's wheel chair sitting there and the chair in which he was sitting when he had the stroke. I was particularly fascinated by the simplicity of the place and thought about how President Roosevelt must have enjoyed his refuge in that little house.
The thing that interested me were the shelves of kitchen supplies and pots and pans hanging on the wall. The was tub. It got the job done and was so basic. I love that.
I agree Donna.

Excellent hub. Love the photos. I, too, enjoy authentic artifacts. My most recent visit was to President Jackson's home in Nashville. I'll have to add the Little White House to my places to visit. Voted up!
