Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum is situated on 100 acres on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The building itself, paid for entirely by private donations, is over 150,000 square feet. The library's holdings include more than 50 million pages of documents, 1.5 million photographs 
and 75,000 gifts.
The museum also includes an exact replica of the Oval Office. At the request of President Reagan, the Reagan Library houses a full-scale replica of the Oval Office furnished with reproductions and staged exactly as it was on the last day of his Presidency. When you visit, you will learn the building change that had to be made to accommodate his wish of complete accuracy of his office.
Other highlights include a colorful section of the Berlin Wall, a Cossack saddle from Mikhail Gorbachev, a nuclear missile deactivated when the President and Gorbachev signed the INF treaty, the First Lady's Gallery and memorabilia such as movie posters and jellybean jars.
You must see Air Force One. It is the same plane that flew President Reagan over 660,000 miles – to 26 foreign countries and 46 U.S.states. The views from the exhibition hall are breathtaking as well.
Want to be a news broadcaster, you can record a broadcast at the library and see yourself on TV.
