Geocache Description:

Nice roadside stop to see the airport built during Roosevelt's era in Warm Springs.

When Roosevelt became governor of New York in 1929, and particularly when he was elected president in 1932, Warm Springs entered a new era. Whenever Roosevelt arrived or departed, large crowds of local citizens and tourists assembled to greet him. The town also welcomed guests from around the nation and the world; scientists from Austria and Germany visited the Little White House, as did government leaders, national news correspondents, business leaders, and occasionally Hollywood stars. To accommodate the recurring flood of visitors a new airport, Roosevelt Field, was built just north of town. A nine-hole golf course was designed by Donald Ross, and the town eventually got a new post office and a community center. The polio treatment center, known as the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation (later the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation) underwent extensive growth.
