Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, Presidential museum and library in Yorba Linda, United States.
Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is a library and museum in Yorba Linda, United States, documenting the life and administration of the 37th President. The complex includes exhibition spaces, research areas, and the preserved birthplace house on parklike grounds.
The facility opened its doors in 1990 as a private institution and was later integrated into the National Archives network. The site grew gradually as additional galleries and research facilities were added over time.
The site sits in Orange County, Southern California, a region that shifted from farmland to suburbs during Nixon's early political years. Visitors can see how the location's name remains tied to the family, as the grounds stand along the historic Yorba Linda Boulevard.
Visitors should plan several hours for the tour, as the collection is extensive and interactive areas require time. Access to archival materials may need prior arrangement, while general exhibitions are open to walk-in guests.
A helicopter used for state travel during the administration stands on the grounds as a walk-through exhibit. Visitors can step inside the cabin and view the interior layout that served the president.
