The museum is well designed and has a lot of information. The lives of the Carters is revealed with many photos, memorabilia, and information cards. One of the neat things about the way this piece of history is laid out is that both his predecessors and successors are given credit for their combined accomplishments. The grounds are also beautiful and worth a walk around them.

My 1st Presidential Library visit!!! Amazing experience. President Carter is an amazing person with great character ❤️ . I learned so much more about President Carter and all that he did and continue to do. He remains my one of my favorite! Happy belated Birthday sir! I truly wish I could meet him personally! If you want to learn about a great pioneer. Visit the Library! Also, they provide a Military discount on the entry cost!

When will the Library reopen to the public?

Trudi Peterson | Oct 20, 2021
Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum | Oct 20, 2021

The National Archives hasn’t given us permission to reopen to the public but we are getting closer. Hopefully it will be in early July. We will post as soon as we know.

Do you have any idea when you will reopen from COVID closing?

Julie Newby | Oct 20, 2021
Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum | Oct 20, 2021

At this point we don’t. We are waiting for the National Archives, our parent organization, to give us permission to start slowly bringing staff in. Once that is done, we can start preparing for the public. But that is likely some time away. Our beautiful grounds are open to the public though.

Kathie Verni | Oct 21, 2019
Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum | Oct 21, 2019

President Carter has said many times that it wold be impossible to accurately monitor elections in tge US because the ryles are different in evey every county and every state. He ad former Sec of State James Baker did chair a Commission that made recommendations for changes in the election laws. You see it on line and judge for yourself how much has been implemented
