There are ten Presidential Libraries administered by the National Archives and Records Administration and the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library is the only one of such Presidential Libraries in the southeast United States. Visitors can view the 30-minute film featuring the early life and political career of the President before walking through an exact replica of the Oval Office. Many state gifts are also on display. Changing exhibits are featured throughout the year and the Museum Store carries many unusual gifts and souvenirs. Visitors can stroll the lovely Japanese Garden (featuring two waterfalls cascading over rocks into a pool) or you simply enjoy the benches and absorb the tranquility of the pond while gazing at the unique Atlanta skyline.
Open Mon-Sat 9a.m.-4:45pm; Sun noon-4: 45pm; closed Thanksgiving, Dec 25th, January 1. Admission $5: seniors $4; children 16 and under are free. Free parking available. The Carter Center (453 Freedom Parkway adjacent to the complex) in partnership with Emory University is guided by a fundamental commitment to human rights, peace by bringing warring parties to the negotiating table, building hope, and safeguarding human rights. |
