Nixon Library Nixon Library Report The Nixon Library is more than just a library bearing the late presidents’ name. To me the library seemed more like a museum which houses audio and visual displays surrounding Richard Nixon’s life. It is located in Yorba Linda and built in front of Richard Nixon’s birthplace. The library opened its doors in 1990 as a privately supported institution to educate the public about Richard Nixon. The day I visited the library Bill Jones announced his candidacy for governor of California. I watch a short 28 minute film title “Never give up’: Richard Nixon in the Arena.” I visited an exhibit titled “Road to Presidency,” which houses a 1832 engraving of the Declaration of Independence. It also had exhibits which showed how Richard Nixon worked his way up in the political Arena. Of all the exhibits I especially enjoyed the one about Nixons pursuit of Alger Hiss in the 1948 espionage case. I saw the presidential limousine. The same limousine in which president Nixon traveled in during his term in office. It is a black, bullet proof Lincoln continental with a V-8 engine priced around $500,000. Exhibit seven has a display of life size statues of 10 nixon, richard, library, exhibit, president, nixon’s, life, office, actual, about, scandal, room, political, white, while, way, watergate, visited, united, titled, through, term, states, screen, provides, presidential, piece, museum, moon, monitor, memorial, made, look, lincoln, limousine, leaders
