Visiting the Billy Graham Library

While we were visiting Rodney's grandfather near Charlotte, North Carolina we had the chance to visit the Billy Graham Library.  If you're ever in the area, it was pretty interest to spend two or three hours learning more about Billy Graham's ministry.  By the way, it's also free to get in, which always makes things better in my opinion.  On the property is the house that Billy grew up in, Ruth's gravesite, a cafe and a museum full of videos and exhibits.  Below are some of our pictures.  
Here are Rodney and I near the front entrance:














This is the house the Billy Graham grew up in that way taken apart, brick by brick, and moved to this property, about 8 miles from it's original location:














One of my favorite part of the museum was Bessy the Talking Cow.  She talked about Billy's life growing up on a dairy.















Okay, here's one more picture from one of the displays in the museum.  Enjoy!
