CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 2, 2026—The Billy Graham Library will reopen to the public on Monday, Feb. 2, inviting guests to experience a new addition to The Journey of Faith tour and special displays highlighting historic moments from Billy Graham’s global ministry.
Guests returning to the Billy Graham Library this year will discover a new permanent feature within The Journey of Faith tour: a section highlighting Billy Graham’s statue now on display in the United States Capitol. Unveiled in 2024 as part of the National Statuary Hall Collection, the statue honors Billy Graham’s life and Gospel ministry.
In addition, the Library will debut The Calling of an Evangelist, a special exhibit on view through June 25, commemorating the 40th anniversary of Billy Graham’s 1986 Amsterdam Conference for Evangelists—a historic gathering that equipped and encouraged thousands of pastors and evangelists from around the world to boldly share the Gospel.
“We’re excited to welcome guests back to the Billy Graham Library and to show new ways for people to see how God used an ordinary man like my father to share the Gospel around the world,” said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. “My father would have been quick to say that any honor he received was not about him, but about pointing people to Jesus Christ. My prayer is that everyone who visits the Library will witness the ongoing mission of sharing the Good News, and be reminded of God’s love and lasting hope.”
In addition to the updated displays, the Billy Graham Library will host a variety of special events throughout the year, from Ladies Tea and Bikers With Boxes to Christmas at the Library, a seasonal favorite for families. The following events are scheduled for the first quarter of 2026:
