Plan A Field Trip

The Jimmy Carter National Historical Park includes the Plains High School Museum, the Plains Depot, and the Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm providing the perfect indoor and outdoor classroom for field trip studies. Teachers have several options for bringing students to visit the park. We can assist you in arranging guided day programs or a self-guided tour. For additional information contact us via email.

Step 1: Secure Your Date!
Go to our School Group Bookings calendar to see available field trip dates. On-site Field Trips are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only. Schools can bring a maximum of 60 students per day. If your group/grade level is larger than 60 students, please plan to schedule multiple days for your school.

Step 2: Complete Registration Forms
Once you’ve booked your date, complete the required Education Program Reservation form.

Step 3: Wait for Confirmation
After completing steps 1 and 2, a member of our park staff will contact you to confirm details of your trip and send you an official confirmation letter. If you have any questions, contact our staff at JICA_Education@nps.gov.
