A short drive east in Yorba Linda rests the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. Visitors can now enjoy the recently renovated museum featuring nearly 70 new major exhibits, 30 unique multimedia experiences, 11 original films, 12 custom digital interactives, 10 curated archival film sequences, more than 600 photographs, 8,000 square feet of wall murals, and more than 300 artifacts. Some of the exhibits you will see at the Nixon Library include:
President Nixon’s Oval Office
Tour a replica of President Nixon’s Oval Office, including an opportunity to take a photo behind the president’s desk. The Oval Office is designed in the original 1969 decor of California blue and gold, which was hand-selected by First Lady Pat Nixon.
Nixon’s Birthplace
Walkthrough Richard Nixon’s original 1910’s humble farmhouse birthplace – in the same location where Nixon’s father built it over 100 years ago – with its original furnishings. Experience life in rural Yorba Linda just as Richard Nixon did.
Marine One
One of the highlights of a trip to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is the chance to step aboard Army One–the helicopter used by Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford. Extensively restored and now on permanent display at the library, the helicopter presents visitors with a rare chance to see how presidents traveled aboard one of the most storied aircraft ever made.
White House East Room
The Nixon Library features an exact replica of the White House East Room, the largest room in the Executive Mansion.
The Vietnam War
Explore the situation in Vietnam, just as President Nixon took office in 1969. Experience the contentious national conversation and President Nixon’s actions and decisions. Artifacts and vivid images highlight the stories of the POWs as well as their celebrated homecomings.
Watergate
The gallery introduces visitors to the events beginning in June 1971 with the leak of the Pentagon Papers and ends with former President Nixon’s public explanations of Watergate after he left office.
