Great fun. Excellent exhibit and history. Worth seeing the Duke!
The little building next the house does not mean the museum is closed, but the museum has actually just moved behind the small building.
Born in a humble little white house--you might not expect that from someone with John Wayne's reputation. Worth a visit.
Nice new addition to the legacy of the Duke
Nice little place to visit
Check out the life size statue of John Wayne around the block from his house.

One of the most beautiful city parks I've ever come across, get lost in the hedge maze, climb to the top of Clark Tower for a breathtaking view, cross a historic Madison covered bridge. - Erik Rowley
Had a wonderful Sunday dinner of roast chicken, dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, whole wheat rolls and apple crisp to celebrate my aunt's 80th birthday. Was delicious. - Judith Bartelt
Rather small, but nice. - Derek Oxenreider
