This is a self-guided tour of the home and spaces. I thought the historical, preserved nature of the home and buildings was very nice. There is a lot to learn and see and if you are already close to Plains, it is worth the trip to see. The S.AM. tain also stops here.
I think this was the best part of our visit through the area. All the other Carter Historical Sites are wonderful but to be able to see where one was born and grew up tops them all off. Easy to navigate to and from. Was not that busy.
President Jimmy Carters family boyhood farm and house is 2.5 miles from Plains and features outdoor exhibits and an audio station in the home. It really captures the simple life from his childhood. I appreciated the large parking spaces for busses and RV'S. Unfortunately in the heavy rain we couldn't walk the grounds.
