This historic town is where Franklin D. Roosevelt went to soak, hoping to alleviate his polio symptoms. Located 35 miles from Atlanta, Warm Springs is now a cute, fun little town to browse the antiques stores. Today the warm springs are not open to the public, but are used by the Roosevelt Institute as physical therapy for the disabled.
