The George Bush Presidential Library is the 10th presidential library and is home to thirty-eight million pages of official records and personal papers that document the life of George Bush. Located right here in College Station, the library is definitely a place that everyone should visit at least once. The museum, located on 90 acres at Texas A&M holds over 90,000 artifacts from Bush’s presidency, including over 3,000 gifts from the foreign heads of state that Bush received as president and vice president. You can now walk through the museum with an audio tour from George and Barbara Bush, provided in both English and Spanish.

My favorite part of the museum is located behind the building, where Barbara Bush’s rose garden lies. A beautiful pond stocked with fish is available to the public for catch-and-release fishing where George Bush can often be found. The Bush’s burial site is located through the woods behind the garden and is a very peaceful, beautiful site. I would definitely recommend visiting both the museum and the pond! It’s beautiful and calm!

Museum hours are 9:30am-5:00pm Monday through Saturday and 12:00pm-5:00pm Sundays. TAMU and Blinn students are admitted into the museum for FREE, while adults may tour for $7, children 6-17 for $3 (5 and under are free), and senior citizens for $6.
