The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum

Hurricane IKE hit Houston and Galveston. We went out on the morning of Sept. 12, 2008. We are staying in College Station. The afternoon, we visit George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

The holdings of this Library and Museum include 43,000,000 pages of official and personal papers, over 2,000,000 audiovisual images, and 90,000 original artifacts.These are primary sources that document George Bush's long public career from Texas Congressman to President of The United States.

Museum patrons experience the unique influences and challenges that formed George Bush's life and presidency. From Maine to Texas to Washington, the story of George Bush is a fascinating one of adventure, courage, and dedication.

Some of the larger museum features includes a World War II Avenger Torpedo Bomber, a 1947 Studebaker, a slab of the Berlin Wall, and precise replicas of President Bush' Camp David and Oval Offices. The presidential exhibits document George Bush's exceptional leadership during times of crisis - the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the Gulf War. The importance of family, friends, and politics are also part of the museum's colorful story.

I just took photos outside the museum. Visit its website to know more information:
