Reviews
"A great, historic and educational stopover if traveling through the area."
"No admission fee. We enjoyed the timeline of photos, plus the many video clips about Walter's work and family. The mock newsroom with the TV camera "selfie" was fun."
"The Walter Cronkite memorial was very cool I didn't know they had such a thing. Being that I live 4 hours away it's going to be kind of hard to have the rest of my children see what I saw. I hope the pictures do justice for everybody that sees this post."
"Very interesting ! Loved listening to him back in the day."
"I was surprised at how good the exhibit was the first time I saw it. Even if you are too young to remember what a great broadcaster he was, the videos and displays are fascinating and give an interesting overview of history. I loved the reproduction of the original broadcast booth, where you can have your picture taken sitting at the desk, and the actual television camera from CBS. It is free and worth a visit."
