Look inside Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm, where he grew up with no electricity or running water
- Jimmy Carter, who turns 100 on Tuesday, grew up on a peanut farm in Archery, Georgia.

- The Carter farm is now a historic site where visitors can tour his childhood home and bedroom.
At age 100, former President Jimmy Carter is the oldest living president as well as the nation’s longest-lived president.
However, before he lived in the White House, he grew up in a humble home on his family’s peanut farm in Archery, Georgia.
The Carters were one of few landowning families in Archery, The New York Times reported, and the only white family in town.
Despite achieving status in a rural town with a population of only 200, the Carters still grew up in relative poverty. The family’s home didn’t have running water until Carter was 11 years old and didn’t get electricity for another three years after that.
Here’s a look inside his family’s famous peanut farm.
