“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 Dr. Meredith Evans, Director of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum. “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 not required for guests who have been vaccinated, though encouraged. Visitors ages 2 and older who have not been vaccinated are required to use face coverings.

The museum will ask visitors to social distance 6 feet apart from other guests.
