He liked the area so much that he had a home built on Pine Mountain.  It would later become his presidential retreat. He died there in April of 1945 when he was only 3 months into his fourth term as president. It became known as The Little White House. FDR had many accomplishments as president, He set up Social Security, Established the FDIC, took part in setting up the United Nations, created the Emergency Banking Act and reduced the unemployment rate during the depression by 23%,

One of the things we enjoy doing when we are traveling is going to presidential libraries, museums of places like this because we learn so much about what defined presidents. Many of the things FDR did we still enjoy today and for sure the CCC and PWA left their marks on the USA. Many structures at National Park were build by these groups and still stand today.
