RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – A new exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of History chronicles the life of the Rev. Billy Graham, who turned 97 on Saturday.
The exhibit, “North Carolina’s Favorite Son: Billy Graham and His Remarkable Journey of Faith,” opened on Friday in Raleigh and will continue until July 10, 2016.
The 5,000-square-foot exhibit explores his life as well as a ministry that has spanned seven decades. It includes personal memorabilia, interactive displays, and multimedia that help bring Graham’s story to life.
The exhibit also provides glimpses into Graham’s family life, his leadership and influence in the Cold War and in the battle against segregation.
Also included in the exhibit is a look at each of Graham’s 12 crusades in North Carolina and other appearances in the U.S. and overseas.
