Perfect representation of Billy Grahams life and legacy. Great family outing to educate the historical and emotional aspects of his life. It is a fantastically well run place, and the people who work there are very nice. During Christmas time the grounds are all beautifully decorated with lights and they have a live Nativity that includes live animals as well. All in all, a great family outing!

Its such a beautiful and serene place and with the Christmas decor, its even more gorgeous, especially at night. The presence of God is surely in that place. Everyone should visit and take it all in. The messages are life is changing! Thank you Billy Graham for a life well lived for Christ!

Monumental voice and inspiration to us all! This place is full of his books and other Christian related materials. The facility is fantastic!! It takes you through the timeline of Grahams life and walks you down memory lane! Showing you through a headset tour the laces and people he touched! His devotion and faith in Christ was spread around the world! He met with dictators and leaders both! He met and prayed with some of the most influential people on earth !! Good Stuff here!

Amazing. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit as Evangelist Graham preached. The drawing power of Christ was at work in the Library and my heart. I give God GLORY for Evangelist Graham and most of all for JESUS our Savior.

As soon as I drove onto the property I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit! This place has Gods hand on it. Absolutely the experience of a lifetime! The staff is very helpful and friendly. Oh, and did I mention how prayed up they are? It was great meeting my brothers and sisters in Christ and discussing the scriptures with one another. I highly recommend anyone to go here because you wont leave the same. I will be back and I will have others with me to experience this great place!

The barn has several videos to watch, items to see that belonged to them and is very informative. Their gravesite is on the property. You can tour the first floor of their home. Cost is completely free including parking.

We didn’t know what to expect going in as we didn’t read any reviews. Everyone was kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Graham’s life and were able to have a better understanding of his ministry after we left.

I visited this very interesting place on my trip to North Carolina. It is an excellent introduction into the life and times of Billy Graham, arguably the most important Christian️ preacher of the last century. The grounds and buildings are both beautiful and inspirational. Please wear the mask. Protect and pray for America .

The museum was very well done and all of the employees were very welcoming and helpful.They also did a very good job as far as safety goes. All of the employees were wearing a mask, there were hand sanitizers everywhere, and everything was being wiped down and cleaned regularly.The guests were also encouraged to wear masks and stay in groups of ten people or fewer.

Review №22

Its a shrine to Billy Graham, they have his house, a self guided tour and an animintronic cow thats starts the tour. Theres a nice little cafe in building also.Its less of a museum and more of a series of videos that you watch from room to room. I would say come here if you are a huge Billy Graham fan or if you have an extra day, since its completely free. But if you have a limited time here in charlotte, I dont know if its worth the stop.

Great place to visit and learn about Billy Grahams ministry. The library layout was excellent allowing the visitor to journey and experience the life of Billy Graham and his response to Gods calling. Yes, you will have a chance to hear the good news that Billy Graham so embraced and be presented an opportunity to response. Best of all, it is free . Unfortunately, I was in a rush so did not get to explore the rest of the ground (e.g. the restored house he grew up in).

The large Bill Graham library is another wonderful spot to visit in Charlotte with the whole family. Discover the excellent grounds where the Reverand lived. The 40,000 square foot facility is home to beautifully manicured grounds, structures and plenty of kid-friendly fun. Admission is free, and you should spending around 2 hours for your trip to the Billy Graham Library.

We visited this Billy Graham Library August 2019. It was so marvelous to see a farm boy from Charlotte preaching the word of God to the ends of the world. Billy Graham is an example of how God can take nobody and use them. BG Library captures the journey wonderfully. Awe inspiring place.

This place is nothing short of amazing. Very beautiful well manicured grounds. They keep the entire museum super clean. Every exhibit was so well laid out I dont think it couldve been laid out any better. All the people working here are super friendly. Coming here is amazing because it really shows how God used someone so humble for something that would impact people for generations to come and have a huge impact all over the world and seeing the museum really brings it all into perspective of just how big our God is and just how much he loves us all. I definitely recommend this place to anybody.

I had such an inspiring time here at the Billy Graham Library. I highly recommend you come here if you’re seeking knowledge about god. The Billy Graham Library provides decorated sets that pay tribute to Billy Graham and showcase the many lives that he impacted while on this planet. I really hope you have as much of an experience as I did when you come here.

This is a wonderful place for the whole family to visit. There is no cost to tour the library or the old house where Billy Graham grew up in. There are several walking paths you can take to see other parts of the property. The grounds are very well taken care of with lots of flowers and bushes that are in bloom. This is really a beautiful place to visit. The inside of the library is magnificent when you enter. There is an information booth located in the center if you have any questions about the property. There is also a nice cafe, a fully stocked book store and lots of new information and pictures from Billy Grahams funeral. In the old house you will find many old pictures of the Graham family as well as some of the furniture he once used. This place is definitely worth the visit of your are in Charlotte.

My husband and I visited the BGL 2 weeks ago, and what a great experience. Due to covid-19 we had to cancel our trip in March. But praise God we finally made it there. You can feel the presence of the Lord and everything and everywhere points to Jesus Christ, The Cross and Repentance. What a legacy to leave behind you for our Lord and Savior. Billy Graham witnessed of Jesus, died and is still Evangelising through his inheritance to us all (BGL). He once said if you hear Billy Graham has died dont believe it, I just started living with Jesus face to face. I believe everyone that visits or just passes by will experience the presence of Gods Holy Spirit to draw them in.What I admired most was he is buried at the foot of the cross.That is what we all should do now and then. Now, Old life buried at the foot of the cross then new life at resurrection because of the cross.Hallelujah. My support and prayers to a great ministry. Please support them. All this is FREE they dont charge for entrance or parking. God bless you Graham family and all the volunteers there. I had a very Spirit filled visit. I will return with my family and grandchildren.

A must visit if you are in Charlotte! This will refresh your faith. The environment is beautiful and the staff were so loving and kind. The thing I liked most is the Journey of Faith tour which was about Billy Graham but also had a major focus on the gospel and the work of Christ. The intent of the tour is to build your faith or to help people come to Jesus. We loved it and would come back. The book store and cafe are also perfect!

This is a wonderful gem in the Charlotte area not to be missed. You have no excuse not to stop since it is very close to CLT. Admission is free and you step into a very significant piece of history. Billy Graham touched so many lives and his library is a wonderful tribute to the man and Gods calling in his life. There are several exhibits and self guided tour. If you don’t want the “religious” experience but would like to visit, there’s absolutely no pressure. Even a restaurant on site for those who are squeamish about being around church stuff. Great place to visit with kids. The people there are so nice and very helpful. They say it’s a great place to visit around the Christmas holidays.

What a beautiful tribute to the life and ministry of Rev Billy Graham. My husband and I thought this would be a quick little stop, a simply tribute, but this is an experience. The self-guided tour inside can take as little as 90 minutes but we actually took a few hours, carefully reading everything and seeing all of the memorabilia throughout the tour. Of course, the whole library points you to Jesus, and at the end of the tour, it’s basically a heartfelt, Spirit-filled altar call. Absolutely beautifully done. Super nice staff working here. The Dairy Bar is fun and everything is good there, plus there is plenty of seating. The Graham house and walkways to the headstones for Billy & Ruth Graham were also a pleasant surprise for us. Make sure you fill out the survey and turn it in. The staff give you a nice souvenir bag with one of Billy Graham’s books inside. What a special place. We will be back.

Got there too late for a tour. They end at 3:30 bur it was a wonderful experience regardless. I got to meet the woman who took care of his mother before her passing what a treat! This place is like a oasis in the middle of the city. I had a rough day(we found out a friend passed during out stay here) and I felt such peace, it reminded me of home out in the country on the eastern part of the state. I will be back again in hopes to spend more time here.

Volunteers are here to serve people that come through. There’s a place to sit and pray after the tour at the library or you can have someone pray for you as well. There’s a cafe and gift shop inside the library. The house in which Billy Graham grew up is modest but lovely. The burial place where both Ruth and Billy are on the grounds as well.

This is the best place to visit in Charlotte. Although it tells the incredible journey of a man who was used greatly by God to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it even more so is a story about God and His incredible love for everyone. The Library is tastefully done and the Journey of Faith is inspiring and challenging. The grounds also contain Billy Grahams childood home, which was moved brick by brick and restored to its original, and the resting places of both Billy and Ruth Graham. The Library also features a well resourced bookstore, Ruths Attic, and a great place to eat, The Dairy Barn. It is well worth the trip and plan on spending at least a few hours to take in everything it provides. You will not be disappointed.

The Billy Graham Library is a must see in NC! This place is rich with history about Billy Grahams life and crusades. Not to mention, while you’re there you’ll feel God’s presence in your life. I felt so touched by everything I saw and experienced. It’s amazing this place is free to see bc for how great it is, they should be charging an admission fee and using that for the keep up.

From the parking lot to the house to the barn to the grave sites... THIS experience will forever be etched in my mind and felt in my emotions. Extremely well put together as an honorable tribute to a God-called, God-serving person & his Family. We spent 3.5 hours there because it was so hard to leave the beautiful presence that abides there. I will return—— multiple times. I will bring family and friends... it’s just too good to keep it to myself . A day well spent!

We visited on a Tuesday morning at 9:30am when the library first opened. The property is beautiful and parking is easily accessible. We first entered the main library building that is shaped like a barn with beautiful windows in the shape of a cross. Upon entering we were greeted with warmth and friendliness that we would meet at every turn. We were instructed to go to the information desk where we were given much information, a map, and were able to ask any questions that we already had. We were told that we can go through at it own pace, however due to the pace of the videos being shown, we were ushered along at times. Though we were never quite rushed. I was not sure I would enjoy this trip, but upon actually going through the museum, it was incredibly touching and encouraging. Billy Graham was a blessing to our world though there was nothing special about him. He just happened to be faithful and dedicated to Gods calling in his life and God was able to work in a mighty way through both him and his blessed wife. I also really appreciated the volunteers availability to speak or pray with anyone as there are many opportunities throughout the library to give thought to Gods reaching out and calling to us. We also had lunch at the Dairy Bar. I actually could smell the delicious BBQ as we entered at 9:30am! I had a Billy Frank hotdog, a cup of potato soup and water. My wife had the BBQ sandwich, potato salad, and fountain drink. It was delicious and the hotdog was a very good size. We actually didnt care for the potato salad though. All together it was $20, which I felt was very reasonable. Afterwards we toured the prayer garden where Mr and Mrs Graham are buried. Also along a path to your right, you will see a beautiful burial spot for his original crusade team of Beverly Shea, Cliff Barrows, and Billie Barrows. We then headed to the relocated Graham home which has been taken apart, brick by brick, and relocated here 4 miles from where it was originally built. Its a beautiful home that has been restored well and decorated with many photos and memorabilia from the family. Several tour guides were in the home to give you a lot of information about the home and family and guide you through the rooms. Unfortunately the tour is only downstairs which consists of the dining room, living room, and kitchen. The sun room is also in view. Unfortunately the only room you really walk through is the living room. Other rooms are roped off but are in clear view. The upstairs was also restricted but there are apparently 4 bedrooms and a bathroom up there. This was a wonderful trip in which we spent 4 hours just taking our time through the library buy could easily be done quicker if needed. Also check the website for special events and displays.

Amazing library of Billy Graham’s life work. Very moving. I went on the Saturday before Father’s Day. It was packed! All the workers were very kind & efficient. Easily spent 3 hours here. The bookstore had a great collection, not sure if all of the books Billy Graham wrote though. It would be nice if they sold CD’s of his sermons, could have listened to it on way home. Definitely will be back during the week when less crowded! Very well done..
