🇺🇸 Former President Jimmy Carter's family farm in Plains, Georgia, will be preserved and opened to the public after a conservation group purchased 2,458 acres for $8.5 million.
The land, where Carter grew up farming peanuts and later returned to hunt and fish, could open for public recreation as early as 2027.
It will eventually become part of a state wildlife management area, expanding the protected land to nearly 7,000 acres.
