The Train Depot in Plains Georgia: Jimmy Carter's Campaign Headquarters

Plains, Georgia was not ready for a presidential campaign.  Suddenly there was a lot of phone calls to make and fliers to mail, but no office to work from.





The former Train Depot was chosen
for Jimmy's campaign headquarters
because it was the only place in
downtown Plains with a
rest room.

Waiting room benches show

the building's original

use.

Plains, Georgia is happy to
state, "This is Carter Country."

Jimmy Carter's humble beginnings

were highlighted in the 1976

presidential campaign.

The President Elect shows off
the election results.

Citizens of Plains were happy
to campaign & host fundraisers
for Carter's campaigns.

Rosalynn home in January,
