What It Is Like to Retire in Pine Mountain

Pine Mountain and nearby Pine Mountain Valley are very small towns of just over 1,000 people on Georgia's western boundary, about half-way down the state. Nearby towns in this area are Hamilton (small but cute). This has always been a very peaceful region that attracts tourists. Nearby Warm Springs is where Franklin D. Roosevelt sought rest and rehabilitation throughout his life; he built his Little White House, now a museum, because he believed in the therapeutic value of the warm springs in that town.
