Jimmy Carter Museum Reopens To Limited Capacity

ATLANTA — The Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum is reopening to the public Thursday.

The historic facility that is the public-facing portion of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library has been closed since the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The public will be able to visit the museum in 20-minute intervals from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Tuesday through Saturday with the last timed entry being available at 3 p.m., according to museum officials.

The intervals are intended to help visitors observe social distancing practices within the limited capacity the facility will observe, Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum Director Meredith Evans said.

“We have missed the vital personal connections in the museum and on the grounds and are thrilled to welcome you and your families back to the Carter Presidential Center to reconnect and consider the Carters’ legacy and presidential administration,” said Meredith Evan. “Health and safety remain our highest priorities, but we are confident that our procedures will keep everyone safe while enabling visitors to see the permanent exhibition and enjoy the grounds."

Masks are required at all times during the visit to the Museum for guests ages 2 and older. Admission tickets must be purchased online in advance and parking is free.
