Current
Today the Little White House is part of Georgia's state park system and is open to visitors; it’s been preserved to look almost exactly as it did the day FDR died. Items on display at the facility, besides the Unfinished Portrait, include his customized 1938 Ford convertible (in the bottom floor of the garage/servant house) and his stagecoach.
On August 9, 2011, the McCarthy Cottage & the E.T. Curtis Cottage next to the Little White House were destroyed in a fire. The cause is being investigated but suspicion is being focused on lightning and thunderstorms that were in the area at the time.
