Since their passing, the residence is now part of Jimmy Carter National Historical Park.
“Despite their extensive global travels and influence, the Carters chose their cherished hometown of Plains, Georgia, as their burial site, the town where their lives began, surrounded by the community they loved,” the National Park Service wrote.
Their gravesites sit in the middle of a memorial garden designed by Rosalynn Carter near a pond that Georgia’s favorite couple built together.
