Abstract:
Seen from the outside, the new Billy Graham Library in Charlotte looks like a dairy barn complete with silo. It is representative of the farm where he grew up just four miles away. Inside the $27 million structure, the library's state-of-the-art exhibits detail the evolution of Graham's ministry from the days of the “canvas cathedral†in Los Angles, where Graham conducted a record-breaking eight-week campaign in 1949, to the present day and the ends of the earth.
