AdvertisementPLAINS, GEORGIA - DECEMBER 30: People visit former President Jimmy Carter's hometown after he passed away yesterday, on December 30, 2024 in Plains, Georgia. President Carter lived to be 100 years old, making him the longest living U.S. President in history. “Most people think President Carter started and ran Habitat, which is not actually true,” he said Monday. Jill Stuckey, a longtime Carter friend who oversees the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park for the National Park Service, is more optimistic. Rosalynn Carter already is buried in a plot visible from the front porch of the family home.
