The small rural town of Plains, Georgia, is home to the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. Everything in Plains revolves around Jimmy Carter and the local crop, peanuts.
When you’re not checking out Jimmy Carter-related sites in town, there’s not much more to do, but the small downtown has a few places to pop into.
Plain Peanuts
One place you have to visit is Plain Peanuts, which sells all kinds of peanut products and local memorabilia. You can get natural peanut butter, fried peanuts, peanut brittle, and many more interesting peanut products. They also serve excellent peanut butter ice cream. The store is housed in the old Carter peanut warehouse.
Buffalo Café
Also downtown is the Buffalo Café, which is in a building that used to be a bank. Historic photos of the town of Plains line the walls, and they have decent food, too. I had a patty melt and Marisol had vegetable soup. We shared an order of buffalo wings. The price was very reasonable for the quality of the food.
