Presidential Museum
We arrived as the museum was just opening, so there was no
one but us. Sawyer loved it because he could play with his
truck and roam around without his parents monitoring him so
closely. Presidential libraries are becoming a tradition
because invariably they have some wonderful grounds where
the little guy can run and play without much supervision - we all
love it.
The library was built in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood of
Atlanta, on land that had been acquired by the state of Georgia
DOT, for an interchange between two redundant highways that
were cancelled by Carter when he was governor of Georgia, in
response to a freeway revolt. Construction started on October
2, 1984, and the library was opened to the public on Carter's
62nd birthday, October 1, 1986. The remainder of the land
around the complex is now a parkway and linear city park
called Freedom Parkway

Sawyer set off the alarm in this room after walking under
the barrier. It was pretty loud, but no one came running.
