Jimmy Carter Library and Museum

It isn't everyday that travelers get the chance to see the library and museum of one of the Presidents of the United States of America.

The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum is located on a hilltop and surrounded by gardens, paths, lakes, and waterfalls.

One of the key features of the Library is an exact replica of the Oval Office where visitors can see what it looks like in the room where some of the most important meetings in the world are held. We are all aware that Jimmy Carter was the 39th President of the United States. During his service from 1977 to 1981, he has always focused on human rights and peace. This president has had a building constructed in his honor, which was opened 1st of October 1986, called the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum.

The building is being run partly by a nonprofit organization called the Carter Center, and also partly run by the National Archives and Records Administration. The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum houses more than 27 million pages of documents, which includes photographs, objects, video and audio tapes. Most of them relate to President Jimmy Carter's administration period and his personal life with Mrs. Carter.

Visitors to this building can get to understand more about Jimmy Carter himself by viewing the documents exhibited and also furnishings such as the iconic Oval Office replica. Since each President of the United States can have his own furnishings and decorations, it is President Jimmy Carter's exact furnishings and decorations that are being displayed at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum. A replica of how his Oval Office looked during his administration period will add to the joy of visitors to be able to experience how President Carter lived in the White House.

Apart from being able to take a peep into President Carter's office back in the late 70's, one can also notice the intrinsic replica details of the office including objects like the Portrait of George Washington, and also The Bronco Buster. Apart from looking at his Oval Office, visitors can also take a look at how Jimmy Carter stood as a presidency candidate as a peanut farmer. The steps to glory are all displayed together with mementos during that time in the "Race to White House" section in the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum.

There is also a section that displays documents and history about maintaining the peace in the Middle East. There is also a section where displays of Gift of States are being exhibited to note the places where President Carter once visited. Lastly, the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum also holds temporary exhibitions such as book launching and art exhibitions, together with a small theater that allows playback of videos and narrations about the President's years in office, and also about the museum and library itself.
