| - This is a nice place for contemplation, or to learn about Billy Graham.
We came here because we needed to find something to do that was open on a Monday afternoon, and was free. We found it! They don't charge for parking, or admission!
The staff was incredibly pleasant. They all were quite interested in making sure you find the tour, find the exits, and find Jesus.
The exhibits were rather well done, taking you through Billy Graham's early preaching life, his meeting with rich and powerful people, and writing his weekly newspaper column.
I was taken aback a little bit by how extravagant this place seems. It seems a bit prideful to build a museum about yourself, especially when the subject is still alive. I kept asking myself how many hungry mouths could've been fed instead of building this place.
But the grounds were really nicely kept, and the whole place seemed to be like hanging out at Ned Flanders' house.
The tour takes about an hour or so, with movies every several minutes that you're forced to sit through. They close the doors up, so you don't really have the option to be bored and race through the museum.
They do have a book store at the end of the tour, filled with religious books. It is a library, I suppose.
