Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s powerful story is woven into the history of Georgia. Visitors can find that story in the tiny village of Warm Springs, in the shade of Pine Mountain’s forests, and on the picturesque grounds of the Little White House. FDR was more than our thirty-second President and most inspiring disabled American; he was also our neighbor and friend.
For the first seven years that Franklin D. Roosevelt came to Warm Springs for polio treatments, he stayed in various rental cottages. While Governor of New York, he oversaw construction of his own six-room white clapboard home on the north slope of Pine Mountain. Finished in the spring of 1932 at a cost of $8,738.14, the Little White House has been carefully preserved much as FDR left it. The casual style and furnishings reflect his desire to relax during his many visits to Warm Springs.
When Roosevelt won the 1932 election, the Little White House doubled as a presidential retreat. FDR often entertained high-ranking officials and foreign dignitaries here. He also saw first-hand the concerns of his rural neighbors. Within the walls of this house, Roosevelt conceived many of the visionary programs that lifted the country out of the Great Depression.

Ben and Luanne Russell began dreaming of building a place for children and families on Lake Martin in 1987. The dream became a reality in 1990 with the dedication ceremonies of Children's Harbor, a not-for-profit organization. The entire program was officially dedicated to the memory of Ben's mother, Adelia M. Russell.
With its walls of windows and wrap around porch giving a panoramic view of Lake Martin, Harbor House is the perfect location for community meetings, family reunions and even as a wedding reception location.
