Dowdells's Knob - The Last Visit



In 1945, a weary Roosevelt visited Dowdell's Knob and ask his secret service men to leave him alone in the car, walk up the road, and not come back until they heard the car horn.  He stay there alone for 2 hours enjoying his last visit with nature.  He died two days later.
