Warm Springs Memorial (FDR Bust)

Roosevelt came to Warm Springs in October 1924 hoping the thermal springs might restore what a paralytic illness had taken from him in 1921. They didn't restore it — but he stayed anyway, bought the resort, built a foundation, renamed the town, and died here in 1945. The bust standing in downtown Warm Springs marks a man who found something in this small Georgia city that kept pulling him back: not a cure, but a place that felt like his.
