Abstract:The Jimmy Carter National Historic Site (NHS), a National Park Service (NPS) site, in Plains, Georgia currently comprises four distinct sites associated with former President Jimmy Carter: the Boyhood Farm, where he was raised; the Plains Depot, which was the headquarters of his 1976 Presidential Campaign; the former Plains High School, where he attended grades 1 through 11; and the Carter Compound, the house where the former President currently resides. This last site is closed to the public as the Carters are in residence; the other three sites are open to the public. The four sites are located within 2.5 miles of each other, on separate parcels of land. The disconnected nature of the three publicly accessible sites makes facilitating visitor movement among them challenging. The sites are integrated with commercial and residential areas in Plains and sit on either side of US 280, a US highway running through Georgia and Alabama. Navigation and safety for visitors are therefore major concerns for the Park. This report summarizes the key issues related to navigation and safety and identifies next the Park and key stakeholders can take to alleviate these issues.
