The George W. Bush Presidential Library will open to the public on May 1, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Monday.
The library honoring the 43rd president of the United States is located at Southern Methodist University, former first lady Laura Bush‘s alma-mater, in Dallas. An invitation-only audience will get a first look at the 226,560 square-foot center on April 25.
The library is the third presidential library built in Texas, following the libraries honoring George H. W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson.
