During the 21 years (1924-1945) in which he was a constant visitor to Warm Springs, GA.,
Franklin D. Roosevelt
became familiar with the scenic beauties of field & forest in the environs. The splendid isolation of Dowdell's Knob, with its vista of valley & cloud-land, was his favorite resort for recreation — an item of which was the outdoor fireplace, a monument to his further pleasure in the Georgia scene.

One of his last days was marked by a visit here in the glad April, for quiet contemplation and reverie — as weary Pilgrims of old came to the Delectable Mountains.
