12. The only Presidential library/museum I've been to is the G.R. Ford Museum
It's in my home town. We took a field trip there my senior year of high school, when it was brand new. It's interesting-my favorite part was the display of the gifts from other world leaders that Ford received as presents. They had a replica of the oval office, also, and a propaganda film for the GOP. I've heard that it's better now, that they got a new director who made the museum a lot more interesting.

I'll never forget the day it was opened. We all joked that if the russians wanted to take out all the leaders of the west, all they had to do was bomb Grand Rapids. Begin, Sadat, Reagan, Poppy, Thatcher, Miterrand, Trudeau, Helmut Schmidt, etc. were all there, as were Carter and Nixon.
