Fodor's Expert Review Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum

Virginia-Highland and Emory

This complex occupies the site where Union general William T. Sherman orchestrated the Battle of Atlanta (1864). The museum and archives detail the political career of former president Jimmy Carter. The adjacent Carter Center, which is not open to the public, focuses on conflict resolution and human-rights issues. Outside, the Japanese-style garden is a serene spot to unwind. Both Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter maintain offices here.
