Jimmy Carter lived in the Georgia governor's mansion and the White House, but his real home was in the tiny town of Plains. It is in this town in the southwestern part of the Peach State that the president will be laid to rest after a journey back to Atlanta and Washington.

Here are events in Washington, Atlanta, and Plains, Ga., around the state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100.

Final preparations are underway to say goodbye to the 39th President of the United States. Jimmy Carter’s funeral procession will begin Saturday in Americus, just outside his hometown of Plains.
