The Jimmy Carter House, Memorial Garden & Gravesite is the home and burial place of Jimmy Carter (1924–2024), the 39th President of the United States, and his wife Rosalynn Carter (1927–2023), located at 209 Woodland Drive in Plains, Georgia, United States, within the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. It is the only house that the Carters ever owned, and the family lived in it from 1961 until Jimmy Carter's death in 2024.[1]

House details

The Historic American Buildings Survey said the house is a "modest 1960s ranch-style house".[1]

A pond on the grounds was personally dug by Jimmy Carter; where he used it for fly fishing.[2] A magnolia tree on the grounds was grown from a tree on the lawn of the White House that was planted by President Andrew Jackson.[2]

Carter burials

Jimmy Carter planned to be buried in the estate of the house by a willow tree on the lawn of the property.[2] The home is part of Jimmy Carter National Historical Park but is not open to the public. The house will be turned into a National Park Service (NPS) museum and open it to the public after the couple's deaths.[2][3]

After her death in November 2023, Rosalynn was buried on the estate.[4] Following his death in December 2024, Jimmy Carter was buried there after his state funeral.[5]
