Jimmy Carter's family moved to this farm in 1928. No running water or central heat. They got the electricity in 1938.The farm was sold in 1949, but the National Park Service bought back 17 of the original 360 acres in 1994 and restored the buildings to the 1938 appearance.
They raised cotton, peanuts, sugar cane and corn. They had a store next to the house where they supplied the needs of the community and their workers.
