WHITE HOUSE
See the “Unfinished Portrait” of the nation’s 32nd president,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, hanging in the carefully preserved
house with furnishings very much as Roosevelt left them in
1945. Painted on April 12, 1945, the portrait was disrupted
and never finished when Roosevelt suffered a massive stroke
and died. The house in Warm Springs was established for
Roosevelt in the hopes the healing powers of the warm spring
water there would end his fight with polio. Self-guided and
guided tours available.
