Jimmy Carter National Historic Site

Jimmy Carter National Historic Site is located at North Bond Street in Plains, Georgia, which was the home town of President Jimmy Carter. Here visitors will be able to see the Plains High School, Historic District of Plains, Plains Train Depot and the Carter Boyhood Farm. A good starting point for visitors is the High School, which houses the visitor center and museum and is open daily from 9am to 5pm.

The school contains a restored classroom, the principal's office and auditorium, whilst other rooms explain the lives of the Carters in Plains through a series of exhibits. The Train Depot was in operation from 1888 to 1951 when the passenger service to the area stopped. Now it is used as a museum with exhibits about the 1976 Presidential Campaign.

The Boyhood Farm is where Carter lived from the age of four until he left for college. The farm has been restored to the way it looked before electricity was installed in the late 1930s and has wayside exhibits, out buildings and a few goats. The farm is open between 10am and 5pm, while the train depot opens from 9am to 4.30pm.
