Billy Graham Library

The Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a public museum and library documenting the life and work of the Christian evangelist Billy Graham. The complex, which opened in 2007, sits on the grounds of the international headquarters of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, just a few miles from Graham's birthplace. Architecturally, the building is styled like a dairy barn, a nod to Graham's rural childhood, and is complemented by a mechanical talking cow. Visitors enter through doors at the base of a 40-foot glass cross. The exhibits showcase numerous artifacts, photographs, music, and audio recordings from Graham's ministry. One area is dedicated to his wife, Ruth Bell Graham, who is buried in the adjoining Memorial Prayer Garden, where Billy Graham was also laid to rest after his death in 2018.
