Aerial View - Dowdell's Knob - F.D. Roosevelt State Park - Georgia
This aerial video was flown on October 6, 2015 with a DJI Phantom 3 quadcopter.
Near the northern end of Georgia's 10,000 acre Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park is a place where the presence of the American President who guided the country through the Great Depression and World War II can still be felt.
Dowdell's Knob, named for a 19th century farmer, was a favorite spot for picnicking and quiet thought for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. First attracted to the region by the nearby warm springs that he hoped might provide a cure for the paralysis he suffered as a result of a devastating bought with polio, Roosevelt fell in love with the beautiful country surrounding Pine Mountain. He built his Little White House, the only home he would ever known, nearby in 1932. That same year he was elected to the Presidency and went on to serve longer than any President in American history.
Roosevelt was a great lover of the outdoors and often drove his hand-controlled Ford car up Pine Mountain to picnic, enjoy the scenery and think in the quiet and solitude of the heights. In this manner he discovered the place that would become his favorite, Dowdell's Knob.
Legend holds that Lewis J. Dowdell, who lived in the area until his death in 1848, often brought the slaves that worked his farm up to the rocky projection for open air church services. Others followed and the knob became something of a local landmark, known for its tremendous views.
Roosevelt came here often on his 41 visits to Warm Springs. Local tradition holds that he often talked with neighbors he encountered at Dowdell's Knob, discussing with them topics ranging from farming to education and the national economy. Often, it is said, they did not realize they had been talking with the President of the United States.
President Roosevelt came to Dowdell's Knob for the last time in April of 1945. Victory in World War II was becoming apparent and he asked his Secret Service agents to leave him alone there until they heard him sound the car horn. He sat in peace and absorbed the view in solitude.
F.D. Roosevelt State Park, Georgia's largest state park, is located near Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, and remains true to the historical era of the four-time president.
Several structures within the park, including a stone swimming pool and cottages, were built by FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Today, hikers are drawn to the scenic 23-mile Pine Mountain Trail, which winds through hardwoods and pines.
Martin Dawe, the well-known Atlanta-based sculptor has conceived a unique statue ~ the only one that exposes the president’s leg braces. After extensive research, including conversations with FDR's relatives, Dawe has created the president as he appeared so often at Dowdell’s Knob ~ sitting on his removable car seat with his legs uncovered.
I wanted the sculpture to be strong, wise and intimate,” says Dawe. Capturing FDR's likeness was just a matter of studying photos and video, but capturing his character and legacy was another matter.
Placing the sculpture on Dowdell’s Knob not only adds poignancy to the design, but allows visitors to sit beside the president at the very place where FDR conceived many of the ideas that have continued to shape our country.

Roosevelt Campobello International Park
Recorded September 24, 2016
Roosevelt Campobello International Park preserves the house and surrounding landscape of the family summer retreat of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his family, located on the southern tip of Campobello Island in the Canadian province of New Brunswick in Fundy Bay. It is connected to the mainland by the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, at Lubec, Maine in the United States. Here in August 1921, 39-year-old Roosevelt, who would go on to become the 32nd President of the United States, fell ill and was diagnosed with polio. FDR was no longer able to stay at the beloved island, but he sailed there in 1933 and visited briefly in 1936 and 1939. Eleanor Roosevelt loved the cool summer weather and visited many times with her children and friends. After her death in 1962, the family deeded the property to the governments of the U.S. and Canada; in 1964, they created the 2,800-acre International Park. The cottage, built in the Shingle Style and completed in 1897, was designed by Willard T. Sears.

Franklin D. Roosevelt | Transformation From 1 To 63 Years Old
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century. Roosevelt directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the New Deal Coalition, which realigned American politics into the Fifth Party System and defined American liberalism throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II. He is often rated by scholars as one of the three greatest U.S. Presidents, along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York, to a Dutch American family made well known by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. FDR attended Groton School, Harvard College, and Columbia Law School, and went on to practice law in New York City. In 1905, he married his fifth cousin once removed, Eleanor Roosevelt. They had six children. He won election to the New York State Senate in 1910, and then served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Roosevelt was James M. Cox's running mate on the Democratic Party's 1920 national ticket, but Cox was defeated by Warren G. Harding. In 1921, Roosevelt contracted a paralytic illness, believed at the time to be polio, and his legs became permanently paralyzed. While attempting to recover from his condition, Roosevelt founded the treatment center in Warm Springs, Georgia, for people with poliomyelitis. In spite of being unable to walk unaided, Roosevelt returned to public office by winning election as Governor of New York in 1928. He was in office from 1929 to 1933 and served as a reform Governor, promoting programs to combat the economic crisis besetting the United States at the time.
In the 1932 presidential election, Roosevelt defeated Republican President Herbert Hoover in a landslide. Roosevelt took office while the United States was in the midst of the Great Depression, the worst economic crisis in the country's history. During the first 100 days of the 73rd United States Congress, Roosevelt spearheaded unprecedented federal legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that instituted the New Deal—a variety of programs designed to produce relief, recovery, and reform. He created numerous programs to provide relief to the unemployed and farmers while seeking economic recovery with the National Recovery Administration and other programs. He also instituted major regulatory reforms related to finance, communications, and labor, and presided over the end of Prohibition. The economy having improved rapidly from 1933 to 1936, Roosevelt won a landslide reelection in 1936. However, the economy then relapsed into a deep recession in 1937 and 1938. After the 1936 election, Roosevelt sought passage of the Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 (the court packing plan), which would have expanded the size of the Supreme Court of the United States. The bipartisan Conservative Coalition that formed in 1937 prevented passage of the bill and blocked the implementation of further New Deal programs and reforms. Major surviving programs and legislation implemented under Roosevelt include the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Labor Relations Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Social Security.
