Inscription

This tablet marks the site of the railroad depot where Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived and departed on his various visits to Warm Springs, during the years 1924-1945. Here, April 1939, his parting word was: "I'll see you in the fall if we don't have war ..... I hate war." From here, all that was mortal of the 32D President of the United States was borne to his resting place at Hyde Park, New York, April 13, 1945.

Placed by Franklin D. Roosevelt Warm Springs Memorial Commission, April 12, 1955
