Warm Springs, Georgia, a town in Meriwether County. It is about 60 miles (97 km) south-southwest of Atlanta. Its name comes from the curative mineral springs situated here. The place was a popular resort in the 19th century. Franklin D. Roosevelt, stricken by polio in 1921, spent much time swimming in the springs' warm waters. In 1927 he organized what is now the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, which works with persons who have various disabilities. The home Roosevelt established here, which became known as the "Little White House," is now maintained as a museum. He died there in 1945.
