    I cannot think of any other person who so profoundly influenced the world, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, than Billy Graham. This museum highlights the life and ministry of this simple evangelist. It also highlights the role of the Christian faith from before the country's founding, up to the present age. It is time well spent, to visit here.

    The museum was clean, suggested to have at least one hour and plus for a visit if you want to read all the presentation. Lots of amazing godly men who contributed to the faith movement.

    Highly recommended. This is a very interesting museum that covers the history of evangelism in America. It's located inside one of the Wheaton College buildings with plenty of parking. The museum itself is well curated with artifacts and stories throughout. Entry is free blithe A suggested donation if you'd like. A must see stop if you're in the area.

    Can't believe it's free (donations accepted)! New art displays in the large foyer with the seasons, rich American/Christian history, beautiful displays taking you through pre-1700's to current day/Billy Graham's life and legacy. Great staff, plenty of parking.

    nice place to visit and be inspired by the life of this great evangelist. all the pictures of Rev. Graham and presidents and celebrities are really cool. especially like the pic with Johnny Cash. the items from his ministries are nice to see...his podium, a drum from a traveling revival mission, gifts to Rev. Graham from government leaders from all over the world. the various rooms are really well themed and inspring to walk through. definitely worth a visit when you are near Wheaton College. Admission is free.

    Billy Graham is a legend in his own right. This museum gives credence to someone who fought to evangelize to millions over the course of his life. The museum walks you through a history of the gospel being shared throughout time. It is very enlightening for anyone who calls themself a Christian or even if you are curious about the faith. They present the gospel to all attendees by the end of the tour. I loved it.

    The Billy Graham Museum was about the history of evangelism in America. It was very well done and explaining the social and historical context in which the revival happened. Though weak and broken evangelists and preachers, God still worked!

  • 5/5 Richard J. M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great opportunity to take a fresh look at recent centuries of God’s work in and through especially this part of the world, but expanding to the worldwide work through Billy Graham. Often people recall the names of key individuals like George Whitefield, D.L. Moody, Billy Graham… However, this museum fills in more of the story of how Jesus’ good news message has moved forward progressively through others as well to bring us to where things are today. May a visit to the museum encourage your prayers, words, and actions toward the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14! “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (ESV)
