This place is nationally famous and TRULY lives up to its name, but does not take reservations. You can either stand in line or pay someone a little money to stand in line for you (we can help connect you with local teenagers who might be up for the task). Worth the effort!

Arts & Culture
This home is a powerful place to visit to see what an incredible man did for our country. The home itself is interesting and educational for all ages, although parents may want to pre-screen the video they show in a separate building, as it does address sad and violent topics such as enslavement and human trafficking.
