Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum highlights
The massive collection at Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum tends to stand out amongst everything else. About 27 million pages of documents are stored here right alongside 500,000 photos and various audiotapes. While much of it covers the man's administration, you can also gain insight into his personal life.
If you're more of a visual learner, you'll be happy to see the replicas that are on display. The one that stands out the most is the full-scale replica of the Oval Office as it appeared during his administration. This even includes a replica of the Resolute desk and all its intricate detailing.
