Earl Carter moved his family to this house in 1928, when Jimmy was four years old. This three bedroom home served as the Carter home until 1949 when Earl Carter sold the house and the surrounding farm land. Jimmy Carter had left the home in 1941 to attend college. In 1994 the National Park Service purchased the house and seventeen acres to make up the park you see today. A multiyear restoration was started and the house and surrounding farm were returned to their 1937 appearance. In 2000 the house and surrounding farm was opened to the public as the Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm.
