Jimmy Carter Library

001
  Bogged down by the energy crisis and the Iran hostage crisis, Jimmy Carter didn’t accomplish much in his four years as president. However the Carter Center, founded by Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter after he lost his second run for president, has been very successful in it’s mission to eradicate diseases in developing countries, monitor elections in newly democratic counties and resolve conflicts between countries. The library covers Carter’s childhood, his career as a naval officer, peanut farmer, senator, governor, president and then his very busy life after his presidency.

   The library is accessible. The theater has spaces at the ends of the aisles where a wheelchair will fit but it has a slope so brakes must be used. A short paved path leads through beautiful landscaped grounds with a view of downtown Atlanta.

  The parking lots are pretty big and don’t get a lot of use so just park out of the way. The security guards may direct RVs to the bus parking lot.  Library
