Event content
Discover the real-life experiences of the Carter family members and our 39th President, Jimmy Carter.
Like many U.S. presidents, Jimmy Carter was a Renaissance man with wide-ranging interests. Among these were woodworking and painting. These pursuits would give him the skills to do the practical work of building houses and furnishing his family home, connect him to the art and culture he loved to experience while traveling, and provide a meditative outlet when dealing with complex problems. These were meaningful tasks, often hidden from the public eye, that he turned to for decades.
He loved to work on and discuss his crafts with his children and grandchildren (frequently making them feel lucky to do the sanding)
His daughter, Amy Carter, and grandson, Joshua Carter, will reflect on their first-hand experiences and observations of Jimmy Carter as a craftsman.
