Lots of hands on exhibits. You can even get your picture taken in the replica oval office. This is the only presidential museum that you can actually go into the oval office replica.

With my mother visiting us for a month, my wife and I decided to take a 90 minute drive with her to visit the Bush Presidential Library in College Station. No matter what your politics are, visiting Presidential Libraries are a good way of understanding the person and the policies that they enacted. This was the first time there for... More

There were so many really great exhibits.... More

We were in College Station doing a college tour at Texas A&M, so decided to take the opportunity to visit this library. It is on the far edge of the university, and would be quite a walk from most parts of campus. It does have its own free parking lot right next to the building, so driving there makes sense.... More
