Warm Springs today is a charming little hamlet that serves as the Bath County seat. The even smaller village of Hot Springs, 5 miles to the south, is virtually a company town: It lives to serve The Homestead. Hot Springs' Main Street begins where U.S. 220 circles around the resort and runs for 2 blocks south; here you'll find a country grocery store and several upscale art and clothing dealers, some in the old train depot.

Warm Springs was filmed in the original cottage where Roosevelt first stayed, and the actual pools Roosevelt used were filled with area mineral water for the filming. The braces worn by Branagh were made in the Warm Springs brace and crutch shop, by blacksmiths who were sons of those working in Roosevelt's time. Filming started on October 5, 2004—eighty years to the day when Roosevelt arrived there—so that the seasonal setting was much like what he initially experienced.
