Creator's Key Takeaways
this should be a lot of fun because they actually have the birth home here they have some of his costumes I believe they even have the eyepatch from True Grit
this started of course probably the most famous piece of trivia is that his name wasn't even John Wayne he was born Marian Robert Morrison
this is a very new museum it's only five years old so they're still building wings and exhibits to it we're getting to see it pretty early on
my opinion I think he probably is the greatest western star of all time
