    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.

    Was there for a campus tour and had no clue this existed. Amazing tribute to an amazing man. A lot of cool artifacts, displays, and information about a legendary American.
  • By Nancy Wright
    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.
  • By Kerri Ebert
    Fantastic museum dedicated to an American icon. Features the CBS studio where Mr. Cronkite delivered the nightly news along with his personal and professional history. Of you're a Cronkite fan, allow hours because you can become fully engulfed in history. Highly recommend
