George W. Bush
Birthplace
Birthplace: Grace–New Haven Community Hospital, 20 York Street, New Haven, CT
Visited: 5/5/13
Log Excerpt: "Back in the car and drove to Yale-New Haven Hospital. ... walked one extra block to the hospital, which was essentially the birthplace of George W Bush. Apparently the Grace Hospital, where he was born, is no longer standing, but had been absorbed into what is now Yale-New Haven. We went inside to take a look at the very nice atrium waiting area."

Home: 916 E. 17th St., Odessa, TX (moved to University of Texas of the Permian Basin)
Visited: 3/16/24
Log Excerpt: “This nice little Odessa home had been moved here to the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in anticipation of HW’s library being established here, but that got relocated to College Station so now the home is all alone. Still, some good signs and some statue kids playing in the yard.”

Home: Austin Governor’s Mansion, Austin, TX
Visited: 4/14/18
Log Excerpt: "Drove downtown and parked at the Capitol. Walked to the adjacent Governor’s Mansion NHL (and onetime George Bush home). The 1854 Greek-Revival home for the Governor of Texas was designed by prominent architect Abner Cook, and has been the home of every governor since 1856.

Just a photo-op here ..."

Home: 10141 Daria Place, Dallas, TX
Visited: 4/14/18
Log Excerpt: "Continuing north we made the last long leg into Dallas. Knowing it was a long shot, we went to the area of one of George Bush’s current homes in a surprisingly modest neighborhood. Sure enough, the best we could do was to drive by the closed front gate of the gated community for a quick photo. We did see a large SUV which Ken thought was a little too interested in us and the area to be a coincidence."
Museum
Museum: George W. Bush Presidential Center, Southern Methodist University, University Park, TX
Visited: 3/13/24
Log Excerpt: "We headed east in traffic and parked in Southern Methodist University (SMU) at the George W. Bush Presidential Center ... we headed into the museum. We traversed a long narrow display area, starting with young George and moving towards his presidency. Not surprisingly a lot had to do with 9/11 and the war on terror. The long section ended at the model Oval Office where we had the requisite photo taken and then checked out a 40% scale Rose Garden where eventually the Bushes will be interred ... took an abbreviated walk through the other long section of the display ..."
