Wander through the Bush Family scrapbook, viewing the family through pictures, videos, and more. This exhibit tells the story of George Bush's childhood, his strong ties to family, and how he has passed this bond onto his children and grandchildren. You can also explore Walker's Point, the home in Kennebunkport that has been in the Bush family for generations.

Take a glimpse at the childhood and family history of the woman who would one day be the mother of a President and the First Lady of the United States of America, Barbara Pierce Bush.

This area of the museum is dedicated to the history of World War II and the impact the attack on Pearl Harbor had on a young George Bush. A highlight of this area is the restored 1944 TBM Avenger, just like the aircraft Bush flew as a Navy pilot. A model of an aircraft carrier and many of George Bush's personal mementos complete this portion of the museum.

Steal a look into the newly married life of George and Barbara in this lovely exhibit that features a stunning replica of Barbara's wedding gown. Their young life at Yale and their growing family are documented with original photographs and letters.
