Rosalynn Carter, former first lady of the United States, will be laid to rest on Wednesday at the Carter Home and Garden, part of Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. 

At 12:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, following a funeral service at Maranatha Baptist Church, the first lady’s casket will travel to the Carter Home and Garden, where interment will take place. The funeral procession will travel via Buena Vista Road, N. Bond Street and U.S. Route 280. The public is invited to view the procession; however, the funeral service and interment ceremony will be closed to public viewing. 

Administered by the National Park Service, Jimmy Carter National Historical Park interprets President Carter’s life and presidency in relation to Plains, Georgia, and preserves the resources associated with that story. The park includes President Carter's boyhood farm and home, the high school that President and Mrs. Carter attended, the Carter Home Garden (closed to the public), and the railroad depot that served as the headquarters for his presidential campaign. 

Visitors to Plains for the funeral procession are invited to visit the Plains High School Museum and Visitor Center to learn more about Rosalynn Carter's influence over the modern role of the first lady and the impact she and President Carter had on the global community.

Updates and a full schedule of events celebrating the life of Mrs. Carter will be posted on the National Park Service website at http://www.nps.gov/JimmyCarter and on the park’s Facebook and Twitter feeds (@JimmyCarterNPS).
