Visiting the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum

This museum brings “scrapbooking” to an entirely different level. Imagine your entire life in one building. From birth to current. Childhood activities, young adult, wedding, beginning of your career, Presidential run and life thereafter. Don't think the candid moments will be missed; those are thrown in there as well.

This is a great stop for adults and children alike. The visit will be extremely educational. For instance, there's a piece of the Berlin Wall available to view, replicas of a conference room in the White House to have top security meeting and other pieces of history located throughout.

If revisiting history isn't enough, take part in it. Stand at a Presidential podium to give a speech to the nation or sit down and peruse books in Mr. and Mrs. Bush's Children's library. There's something for everyone.

If visiting, be sure to provide plenty of time to enjoy this stop. It's immensely filled with information not only on President Bush but on this nation’s history.
