In developing the Jeane Dixon Museum and Library, the Wayside Foundation of American History and Arts sought to interpret Jeane's life and accomplishments as objectively as possible. The result is a thorough description of Mrs. Dixon's endeavors but the museum visitor himself decides their validity and impact.

The museum contains artifacts, pictures, memorabilia, and informative descriptors detailing Jeane's life. Awards and honoraria line the walls. Her elegantly appointed bedroom, with a canopied bed that once belonged to royalty, contains beautiful gowns and hats and numerous religious icons. Works of art, cherished mementoes from her travels, and gifts from friends are scattered throughout. They give a unique insight into the life of this truly amazing woman. The extensive research library contains hundreds of volumes on prophecy, paranormal studies, and presidential studies, including books Mrs. Dixon authored as well as those she collected and studied.

Jeane Dixon's first psychic experience occurred when she was a child barely old enough to talk; the toddler asked her mother if she could play with a curious-looking letter, which was to arrive several days later. She later predicted the tragic fates of several celebrities with astonishing accuracy. A President sought her counsel. She refused to take money for psychic consultations. Later in life, she established the Children to Children Foundation, a benevolent organization. The museum tells these stories, and other, more whimsical tales of what life is like for a seer. The visitor may examine copies of books, magazines, and tabloids containing thousands of Jeane's prognostications, many of which did not come to fruition. The museum also examines the opinions of Jeane's skeptics and their theories explaining paranormal activities.

The Jeane Dixon Museum examines Jeane's unique relationship with her Church in light of her use of astrology, divination, and reincarnation. One exhibit shows a fascinating correlation Dixon made between the 12 signs of the Zodiac and Christ's 12 apostles. After careful scrutiny, Church leaders said they were comfortable with her concept of reincarnation as it was similar to the writings of Saint Augustine.

Best known as The Psychic Who Predicted Kennedy's Assassination, Dixon termed the event a revelation, an unalterable future event, rather than a prediction, an event which could have been changed by human actions. One striking exhibit describes the personal anguish she felt when she discovered Kennedy's fate.

The Museum also features a lighthearted look at Jeane's love of all animals, but most specifically Mike the MajiCat, her companion of 25 years. Even though Jeane's real estate partner, her beloved husband Jimmy Dixon, had to admit that Mike was about the ugliest cat he had ever seen, the feline became a "star" in his own right. Heartwarming stories about Jimmy Dixon and two of Jeane's siblings round out our look at the many facets of this extraordinary woman's life.
