Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Presidential library and museum in Simi Valley, United States.
Description
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is a presidential library and museum complex in Simi Valley, California, with exhibition halls and archive spaces covering roughly 11,600 square meters (around 125,000 square feet). The rooms contain desks, furniture, and recreated White House workspaces, along with a pavilion housing a Boeing aircraft.
History
The building opened in 1991 with a ceremony attended by five presidents: Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. The aircraft in the pavilion served as Air Force One from 1973 until 2001 for seven presidents.
Culture
Visitors read the original names painted on the presidential aircraft fuselage, where Ronald Reagan's signature is also preserved. At several locations on the grounds, memorial stones carry engraved lines from his speeches.
Practical
A visit typically takes three to four hours to see all the main exhibitions, including the aircraft pavilion and the replica of the Oval Office. The facility sits on a hillside with multiple terraces, so stairs and ramps are part of the site.
Did you know?
A section of the Berlin Wall stands on the outdoor grounds and still carries traces of graffiti from before the fall. The collection includes around 50 million presidential documents and over 1.6 million photographs stored in the archive spaces.
