Presidential Libraries

We watched some of the dedication of the George  W. Bush Library this morning. It is down in the Dallas area and adds to the list of those that we haven't visited. Other Presidents with "modern" libraries that we haven't visited are: Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton. We have visited the Herbert Hoover Library in West Branch, IA; Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park, NY; Harry S Truman in Independence, MO; Dwight D. Eisenhower in Abilene, KS; Lyndon B. Johnson at College Station, TX; Jimmy Carter in Atlanta; George H. W. Bush at College Station, TX. We have enjoyed all of those we visited. They are definitely worth the extra time it takes to visit them when you are in the area. I probably enjoyed the FDR library the most. We were there back in the late 70's where I bought a 2-volume set of books that contained Presidential Letters on Soil and Water Conservation during his years in office.
