Joyce, the author of Blue, sent us an email of “things we must see and do” while in Warm Springs. We are going to try to get to all of them. Here’s what she said…
Excellent idea for you to go and blog and video the trip!!
What to see? I’d ask for the guided tour of Warm Springs. It’s free. And naturally you’ll want to see the historic pools, FDR Museum and the Little White House. It would be great if Bob Prater could do an FDR interpretation for you. Might be worth looking into. He does them occasionally but I don’t know if he charges for special events or groups such as yours. I could inquire. And I’ll try to connect you with Suzanne, too.
Last I heard the Smithsonian exhibit “Whatever Happened to Polio” was still in Warm Springs. I think it’s a permanent exhibit. You could perhaps drive out to Manchester to Magic Hill to see if you car will travel uphill by itself. I tried it but wasn’t sure I was in the right place.
There’s the Bulloch House Restuarant which is a “must do” at least once.
It’s a tiny place and January might be quieter than usual but one never knows!
So, I found the Bulloch Restaurant–it looks really nice. It is an old Victorian house, built in 1893.

Y’all – this is SO cool. I’m glad you went to Warm Springs and I’m jealous I was not at GFMS to tag along. Keep up the great, great work!
