Billy and Ruth Graham purchased this home in the late 1940’s, and for two decades, raised their five children here. While they lived in this home, Billy Graham was just embarking upon his tour in England as well as his well-known crusades.
In hopes to help others truly understand and personally experience the life of the Graham family, Stephen Thomas and Ruth Graham have carefully curated photographs and mementos to commemorate the Graham legacy displayed on the walls and halls of this sacredly historic 2,500+ square foot home, nestled in the Montreat, NC mountains.
Firm Foundation
Billy's Home Place has the foundation of a man who sought God's will and had first-hand experiences to God's power and blessings over the course of his life. Billy's Home Place founder, Stephen L. Thomas shared why his passion to continue Dr. Graham's legacy was so strong. He explained "Many fail to believe that God has a deep call on our lives; that He wants to use His people in special ways. Failure to be used by God is never because of God's idleness towards us, but because of our neglect in pursuing Him. We often believe that God will take something away from us, or worse, call us to a place that we are not prepared for!"

Where it all began.
Though-out the decades, this home stood as an altar of anointing where God chose to use a humble servant to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Often writing sermons and studying from a small writing table in his second floor study, this library stands as a monument to the countless hours spent crying out to God on behalf of unrepentant souls and those in need of Christ. Billy would soon become “America's Pastor”, filling arenas and coliseums around the world, but his earliest ministry took place around the fireplace and kitchen table at this modest mountain home.
Experience the renewal and peace for yourself and your family.
