George H. W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, Texas
Even though he was a New Englander, with roots in Massachusetts, Maine, and Connecticut, George H. W. Bush was also a Texan, maybe more than anything else, and he established his official presidential library and museum at Texas A&M, in College Station, Texas, in 1997. After graduating from Yale he went to Texas with his new family, and eventually became an oil millionaire. One of their early homes in Midland is preserved as a museum (and it is one of few places where two future presidents lived under one roof). George H. W. Bush moved to Houston in 1959, then moved away in 1971, to begin his long career with the federal government, as UN Ambassador, CIA director, vice president, and president. After all that, in 1993 George and his family moved back to Houston, to the West Oaks neighborhood, where he lived until his death in 2018. His Presidential Library and Museum was updated and rededicated in 2007, with the 83 year old former president arriving for the dedication by parachute. Inside are the usual displays showing the life and times of his presidency, though with more elaborate set work than at most other presidential museums. Outside on the property is a path leading to a secluded location, behind the Bush School of Government and Public Service, which leads to a fenced area where George and his wife Barbara are buried.
