It was nice it had the farm house that lead out to a trail, you walk around, they had some farm animals and stuff. The only thing is they have 2 very friendly dogs that like to follow you around and sniff you. Other then that it's great.

Regardless of your political views, stop in Plains for the peanut butter ice cream after a very reasonabley priced meal, and enjoy the small town atmosphere. The Carter home, school and related sites help one realize the journey one couple took from a small town to Wahington, DC. Must've been amazing for them!

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 Carter's Boyhood Farm is quite fun and informative. This is an excellent place for children to learn and have some space to move. I highly recommend this part of our National Park Service!

What a beautiful Old Farm, restored to its 1930s era when Jimmy Carter lived there. I loved the commentary by President Carter in the different areas of the home, Farm Store, Barns, and sharecropper homes. Highly recommended!

Is so quaint , clean and has a HomeTown feel of how things used to be. The guy in the political paraphernalia shop is hilarious he has a joke a minute and is very knowledgeable.

So informative. I had no idea our former president Jimmy Carter had done so much since leaving the oval office. Great tour. Can be a great educational day trip.

Wonderful experience. Toured the school with my dad who graduated from there in 1966. He knows more about the history there than the national park service unfortunately.
