I would have given this 5 stars except for the sign on the Carter's front yard fence. "Black Lives Matter" the same as everyone else's lives matter. Considering the BLM movement and the Antifa have become almost indistinguishable, I cannot understand why someone would...Read More

This historic site is quite thorough in covering President Carter's life. The Plains High School gives in-depth information and presentations from his school years through the work being accomplished through the Carter Center. The train depot, Carter's campaign headquarters, is interesting. A visit to Jimmy...Read More
