Having visited Charlotte since 2010 on around 30 occassions we find ourselves drawn to the serenity of the Library.
Not being religiously inclined this is strange, yes one visit to enjoy the place but we nust have visited on eight occassions now and still love the place.
Our visit this year was a special homage to a great man who has bought peace & love to so many, when tour the diarama and here his voice you can understand his pulling power for the masses.
His simple grave is tribute to his lifes work and if you hsvent visited this is a must do whilst in Charlotte.
Billy Graham 1918 - 2018
Thank you for your gracious review of the Library. We are so glad you have enjoyed your visits here and appreciate you taking the time to share. We look forward to seeing you again the next time you are in Charlotte!
I had been years ago when they were new but only had a little extra time on my way to the airport. I was not able to tour the family home and felt a little rushed through the exhibits. For this visit, of course the Memorial Garden has grown. :-( It was nice to pay my respects and to see the exhibit inside the barn of the funeral and lying in state at the Capital. I loved the tour of the family home. Many of the volunteers in the house had been there in their youth when the Graham's lived there so they were able to share insights. Even the barn has increased in size and exhibits. We stayed about two hours and had a fantastic lunch. I could have spent a couple more hours studying all the exhibits and the collections from Billy Graham's personal library. I recommend three to four hours to slowly peruse everything but with no admission, it's a great place to stop even when you just have a little time. The food is delicious.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thorough review. We are so pleased you were able to visit the Library again. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to our wonderful staff and volunteers. God bless and we look forward to seeing you in the future!
While I'm not a faithful person, it was interesting to learn about Reverend Graham and the influence he had on many presidents and the common people.
Thank you for visiting the Billy Graham Library. We are so glad to hear of your openness to learn more about Mr. Graham and his ministry and that you enjoyed your visit!
On our way to catch a flight home we decided to do a drive through. We ended up parking the car, walked to Billy Grahams grave, then into the library. A very kind ( everyone was extremely nice) man knowing we only had 15 min to spend took us on a quick private tour. I must say I was impressed, just about brought me to tears, very moving. When we are in town again will definitely make plans to do the 90 minute tour. It's Free opens at 9am.
We are so glad you were able to visit us here at the Library, even for a few minutes! Thank you for taking the time to give us such a kind review. We look forward to seeing you next time you are in town! God bless!
The grounds at the Billy Graham library are so peaceful and so beautiful in the spring. By the parking lot, you will see the home Billy Graham grew up in that was moved and restored on these grounds. Then you go into the barn with a cross shaped door. The staff here is so cordial and helpful. Look for Bessie the talking cow. You are then guided as a group through several areas with videos to watch. After several of those, you then have areas to tour at your own pace. You end with another video and exit through the bookstore/ gift shop. As you face the barn, the Memorial Prayer garden is to the right. It is a cross shaped walkway that leads to the burial places of Ruth and Billy Graham. Off to the right of that area, you will see the burial places of the Barrows and George Beverly Shea. Allow about 2 hours since part of this tour is guided and part is at your own pace. This is a very enjoyable stop...Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience here at the Library. We are so glad you enjoyed each aspect of your visit! God bless and please come again!
Doubt can tell it all. Worth the visit just for the beauty. An honor to walk the same grounds Rev. Graham did as did Mrs. Graham. House was neat as it reminded me how material things have changed. Wonderful job done with the barn. We went though the videos from room to room and greatly recommend it. Learned a lot about Mrs. Graham that may have known but forgotten. We spent about an hour but we were on time limit, allow a couple of hours if possible. No admission. They accept donations.
Thank you for your kind words of recommendation for the Library. We are so glad you enjoyed each aspect of your visit. Please come visit again, especially when you have a little more time and can fully enjoy The Journey of Faith tour! God bless!
