Ronald Reagan Presidental Library and Museum

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Around 200 miles. We haven’t been sticklers on being accurate this time.

We love the National Parks but we also adore a Presidential Library. We’ve been to Kennedy, FDR and LBJ and hope to visit Nixon later this week.

The Reagans.
They had a huge temporary FBI exhibit and it was fascinating.
Part of the plane of flight 175 from 9/11.
I’m love true crime stories and the case of DB Cooper has to be a favorite. He hijacked a plane, asked for loads of money and parachutes and then jumped out the back never to be found.
Parachute not used.
Car stolen by Bonnie and Clyde shot up by the FBI.
Massachusetts connection. I followed the trial very closely. He would hate that this said he was an informer to the FBI.
They also had a section on TV shows and movies on the FBI and I couldn’t help but find Mulder and Scully.
Headed into the regular part of the museum. Inauguration clothes.
The White House china was stunning and Princess Diana’s signature on the guest book.
There was a great section on the Berlin Wall and the Cold War.
Oval Office replica.
More Oval Office.
They have the actual Air Force One that seven Presidents used. We couldn’t take pictures inside but it was really cool!
Norman Rockwell painting of Reagan.
I’m obsessed with Iceland 🇮🇸 so mom had to call me over to read this. Iceland was one of the locations to negotiate the end of the Cold War.
Piece of Berlin Wall.

If you’re in Southern California, go to Simi Valley and check it out. It was fascinating.
