The museum is very interesting and interactive. You can take pictures of you and John Wayne on a movie set. There is also a movie theater that shows movies starring John Wayne. This and a tour of his birth place home, makes it well worth the few miles off the Interstate.

I shouldn't really rate this place because I couldn't go inside - their website said they were open but when I got there it was closed. It looked really neat from the outside though! I would definitely call before you make the trek out there. About 20 minutes off the freeway. You can go to his childhood home, then go around the block to a museum.

A must-see for anyone who even remotely admires John Wayne and what he stood for as a real American patriot! Worth the visit, I promise!!!
