The Jimmy Carter Library in Atlanta Georgia is surrounded by beautiful gardens, ponds, fountains and walking trails.  Over 37 acres is free to enjoy.  If you are in Altlanta in the spring this would be a beautiful stop.  If you like to take your time and stop for lunch halfway after walking the gardens in the morning, the Bread and Butterfly Restaurant is close by.  It's just like going to Paris without the wait.   After lunch, you can enjoy the library, which shares the highlights of the Jimmy Carter years.  There is a beautiful tribute to John Lennon in the Library.  Additionally, you can experience a day in the life of a president in the life size oval office.  His museum gift shop contains many of his books which are quite uplifting.   I was told by the staff that Mr. Carter could be seen several days a week there and that he welcomed everyone that came to visit.  He remains the longest living President in history and is in hospice care at his home.  God Bless You on your Journey Home!

My recent visit to the Jimmy Carter Library on a Sunday provided a unique perspective. While the library was relatively empty, it allowed for a peaceful and serene experience. Although some exhibits may have been closed or limited due to reduced staffing on weekends, the tranquility offered a chance to appreciate the exhibits at a relaxed pace. The absence of crowds created an intimate atmosphere, allowing me to delve into the rich history and legacy of Jimmy Carter. While I would recommend visiting on a day when more exhibits and activities are available, the Sunday visit provided a different, more serene side to the Jimmy Carter Library.

The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum are a great tribute to our 39th president. The museum is engaging and has a wealth of information on former president Carter life, political career, honors, awards and humanitarian efforts since he left office. Nicely curated museum, beautiful gardens and friendly staff.

For the past three years, we’ve been meeting friends and family on the lawn of this wonderful library. We walked the community, setup chairs on the lawn, eat a picnic meal and solve the worlds problems, right outside the walls of Jimmy Carter‘s presidential library. It’s a great place together, central location in Atlanta. And a few minutes away from Ponce City Market.

Stunning peaceful gardens at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum at the edge of the city. Beautiful and informative place to visit and get more insights into our history.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15

Human rights and peace are two legacy for his presidency. I am so amazed the effort of peace talk at camp Davis between Egypt and Israel and the success of rescue American hostages at Iran. Personally I love the quote from his teacher “adjusting the changing time and still hold to unchanging principles.”Highly recommend.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15

This place rocks my socks and shout out to Jimmy carter whom at full disclosure is an ex family member of mine but time heals all wounds and mr James is forgiven for tearing my family apart The grounds and facilities are stay of the art and it’s a great space for any walk , event, or picnic. Or the inside is amazing and design with love and very presidential Love this place and it’s locale in the heart of little five across from freedom park

We visited the Carter Presidential Library today. Of course, all was pro Carter as to be expected. It was a difficult time in our nation’s history. I am old enough to remember his Presidency. We have started visiting the Presidential Libraries. They give interesting reminders of our history.

I learned so much about President Jimmy Carter. The replica of the oval office during his presidency was amazingly accurate, and I enjoyed seeing the gifts that the Carters were given from other nations. However, most remarkable was the time and effort that friends and family put in to ensure victory. He had quite a team!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15

We visited the Jimmy Carter presidential library after Christmas this year. Beautiful grounds, well designed and executed. Entrance was a little hard to find, the library contents were well organized, sequentially and covered many of the issues that President Carter faced, visit was marred by the attendance refusing to let my 65-year-old wife use the presidential library stamp to stamp her memorial book, which had been purchased at a different national monument. They would only allow the stamp to be used and the official national park passport book. The attendant, and the standing manager were both adamant on this. Shocking. If anyone is interested, their photos can be seen below
