*****************************************************************************

New Orleans, Louisiana:  D Day Memorial Museum.  It is really a World War II
Museum and does a great job of explaining military tactics in a very engaging
way while telling personal stories of the armed forces involved.  It covers
both the European and Pacific wars.

Bob Bullock Museum (Texas State History Museum):  Austin, TX.  A new history
museum with an IMAX theater and interactive exhibits.

Lyndon Johnson Presidential Library, Austin TX.  A museum that really makes
1960's history come alive through very nice environmental effects and just well
presented exhibits.

A new history museum that isn't in the region you mention:

U.S. Constitution Center:  Philadelphia PA:  Tells the story and meaning of
the U.S. Constitution (the document, not the boat) through an effective mix of
interactives, artifacts, theater, and multimedia.
