Was comming back from my hunting lease today and took a side trip the back way and went by FDRs Georgia White House in Warm Springs Ga. It is a national historic site and real interesting to visit. FDR died there of a brain hemorage on April 12, 1944. One of the big things to come from him visiting rural Georgia was the establishment of the REA, Rural Electrification Association. REA brought affordable electricity to the farms and rural areas of America.
