President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) built the Little White House in 1932 before he became president in 1933. He had a disease called polio, which caused him to lose the use of his legs. He thought that swimming in the warm springs near his house would make him feel better. Warm Springs are spouts or streams of water that are already warm when they come out of the ground. They are rare and very different from the water you drink.

When visiting Roosevelt's home in Warm Springs, GA, you can look at his special car. It has hand controls to drive with since he had no use of his legs.
