Jimmy Carter National Historic Site ? The Town That Cultivated a President, Georgia

Displayed:   times.

He was reared on Baptist principles and peanut farming. His mother was a nurse who dedicated her time to the poor and his father ran a farm and a small country store. He walked along the railroad tracks to town to sell peanuts, and when he said he?d grow up to be President, he meant it.

The 39th U.S. President and his First Lady Rosalynn still call Plains home. Today, Plains is part of the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site overseen by the National Park Service.
Visit the Plains Depot, now a museum to the 1976 Presidential campaign, Carter?s boyhood home in nearby Archery, GA; attend a Sunday School lesson taught by Jimmy Carter, and the Plains High School Museum & Welcome Center with Carter memorabilia. The museum also tells the story of the town of Plains. Browse in the little shops downtown. More info on: www.therealgeorgia.com
