Jimmy Carter’s family farm in south-west Georgia has been acquired by a conservation group, with plans to protect the land permanently and open it to the public, The Guardian reports.

The group plans to transfer the property to the state of Georgia in 2028, according to the report published Nov. 10.

The acquisition concerns the family farmland of the late former U.S. president. The planned public access would allow visitors onto land associated with Carter’s life and legacy.
