Jimmy Carter Peanut Statue

The Jimmy Carter Peanut Statue is a monument located in Plains, Georgia, United States.

[2] According to The New York Times, the statue is made of "wooden hoops, chicken wire, aluminum foil, and polyurethane".

[4] The statue initially was located at the train station in Plains, but in 2000, it was damaged in a car wreck, and after repairs it was moved to an area along Georgia State Route 45,[1][2] near the Maranatha Baptist Church where Carter was a member and taught Sunday school.

[6] In 2023, Jill Stuckey, the superintendent of the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, claimed that Carter “hates” the statue, which stands on the route between his house and the church he attended weekly.

[7] Despite Carter’s alleged feelings towards the statue, it has become a town symbol and roadside attraction.
