Its small but has some nice personal articles. Also there is the home he was born in. Was small but interesting. If you like John Waynes movies its worth checking out.

On our way back home to Washington state my wife and I saw this on the map. We had time and stopped in. I do not completely agree with Mr. Wayne's past political views but this place was full of interesting things. The persona he portrayed on screen is still strong today and entertaining. The Hollywood history tied to this place I find very facinating. I would recommend a visit.
