About Jimmy Carter Presidential Library & Museum

On a hilltop with one of the city's best skyline views, the 39th president's museum traces Jimmy Carter's road from a Plains peanut farm to the White House and through decades of humanitarian work afterward. Step into a full-scale replica of his Oval Office, see the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, and browse exhibits on the 1976 campaign and the Camp David Accords. The parklike grounds and Japanese garden outside are free to stroll.
