It is the only house that the Carters owned; they have occupied it since 1961. The home is part of Jimmy Carter National Historical Park but is not open to the public. The deed to the house has been granted to the National Park Service (NPS) who will turn the house into a museum and open it to public tours after Jimmy Carter's death.
