These are listed in order of dedication.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM
Abilene, Kansas, dedicated May 1, 1962 (Abilene is where my mother-in-law, Frances Klaus, grew up).
** The site includes his boyhood home and grave site.
HERBERT HOOVER PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM--
West Branch, Iowa, dedicated Aug. 10, 1962, his 88th birthday.
LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM
Austin, Texas, dedicated May 22, 1971.
** Reopened in December after a $10 million redesign that included a Vietnam "situation room" with an interactive display of formerly secret documents. Visitors get to decide how they'd handle things and then see what Johnson did.
JOHN F. KENNEDY PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM
Boston, dedicated October 20, 1979.
** Kennedy had selected a site next to Harvard University in Cambridge, but the plan was scrapped after his death mostly because residents were concerned about traffic from visitors and tourists.
