Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum Tickets

The museum is located in Yorba Linda, on the grounds where Nixon was born and spent his childhood. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by an initial multimedia orientation, which provides historical context about the era, American politics, and the events that defined Nixon's presidency.

You'll then begin exploring the permanent galleries, which feature highlights such as the signing of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, the debate over the Vietnam War, domestic achievements such as his environmental policies, and how he dealt with the Watergate scandal. Objects, documents, photographs and interactive exhibits help you understand not only what he did, but also the challenges he faced.

Your visit will also include the simple house where Nixon was born, restored to reflect the president's early, rural life, with original furnishings and authentic ambience. The memorial gardens, the Oval Room replicated in 1969 décor, and the presidential helicopter "Marine One" offer visual and symbolic insights into his legacy.

The museum grounds are peaceful, well-kept and offer space for reflection. Walking through the gardens and visiting the exteriors, you will feel the human dimension of history, how national events have local and personal impact. It's an enriching, emotional and educational visit, perfect for getting the full picture.
