Seating will begin at 10:00 a.m., on a first come first served basis; no reservations will be accepted. Afterwards, there will be special book signings by President Carter and the First Lady. Due to time constraints each visitor will be able to have a maximum of two books signed, and all books must be authored by President Carter and/or First Lady Carter.

Carter leased the land to Atlanta-based SolAmerica Energy, which owns, operates, and sells power generated from solar cells.

Many visitors are drawn to downtown Plains, Ga., to see where former President Jimmy Carter grew up. Few U.S. Presidents have had such close ties with where they were born and raised. The rural southern culture of Plains that revolves around farming, church and school, had a large influence in molding the character and in shaping the political policies of the 39th President of the United States.
