Billy Graham Library

The Graham family home place was built in 1927 on a dairy farm near what is now Park Road Shopping Center.  The original house was moved to a site at the Library, where it has been restored.  The tranquil garden lies at the edge of the woods, at the end of a cross-shaped brick walkway.  Ruth Graham was buried there in 2007.  Original Crusade team members George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows have asked to be buried next to their wives in an area just a short stroll away.  Billie Burrows, who passed away in 1994, is laid to rest there.  Named after Billy Graham's wife, Ruth this bookstore features a great selection of Bibles, books by the Graham family and other noted authors, classic Billy Graham sermons on DVD, plus a wide selection of gifts, including music, apparel, and Thomas Kinkade prints and specialty items.  Enjoy a selection of delicious meals and snacks, including deli sandwiches, chicken salad made from Ruth Graham's recipe, the Billy Frank hot dog, BBQ, fresh salads, soups, soft drinks, ice cream cones and cookies at the Dairy Bar.  You have to see Bessie the Cow, you will really enjoy her.  It is a great place to sightsee in Charlotte NC.
