Former President Jimmy Carter's recent passing has deeply impacted the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his late wife, Rosalynn, were beloved members of the community. Carter, who died at the age of 100, was known not only for his presidency but also for his humanitarian work and dedication to public service.
Residents of Plains, a town with fewer than 700 people, shared fond memories of the Carters, who put their hometown on the world stage. From the old train depot that served as Carter's 1976 presidential campaign headquarters to the family's peanut warehouses, the town's history is intertwined with the Carter family's legacy.
