If you know anything about Billy Graham, you must visit the BG Library. You will learn all about his life as a child, his calling, his ministry and how his life affected others. It was a very interesting and informative place. It starts with "Bessie" the talking cow, telling you about Billy Frank's journey. It's a great place to visit.... More

When you first enter the Billy Graham Library, you are met by Bess the Talking Cow (I think that is her name). It's hilarious. Also there was a mechanical cat sleeping near Bess. It looked like a real cat. Bess looks like a real cow. When you walk through the library it is like walking back in time, through history.... More

I must preface my review by stating that I am not a Christian, and certainly not an evangelical. I am a curious person who wants to learn about anything and everything. So, I went to the BG library to learn about BG's life, his role in history, and most importantly, what experiences and influences shaped his beliefs. The BGL succeeds... More

Billy Graham probably the most recognized name in Christianity in the past 50 years. Library has a good display of memorabilia and some shows that make it even more interesting. Everyone there is very welcoming with no pressure. Nice snack and ice cream area too. Convenient to airport. Plan 1-3 hours. More
