Built and operated entirely without Federal funds, museum visitors begin their tour by viewing a 27-minute movie entitled "Never Give Up: Richard Nixon in the Arena" and then proceed through the 52,000 square foot main gallery.
Nixon Birthplace - January 9, 1913, Richard Nixon was born in this little Yorba Linda Farmhouse.
His father, Frank Nixon, built this house just a year earlier from a catalogue kit on 8.2 acres of our existing nine-acre museum site.
Goodwill Ambassador Gallery - Gallery is dedicated to the inspiring life of one of our most popular modern First Ladies, Pat Nixon. Born in Ely, Nevada and raised during the Depression on a hardscrabble California farm, after college Pat traded promising teaching and possibly even movie careers for the political life as Richard Nixon's indispensable partner. She was his most trusted advisor and, as First Lady, a globe-trotting ambassador of peace to 78 nations (including becoming the first First Lady to visit a war zone). Experts say she did as much to refurbish the White House as any First Lady in history. She promoted volunteerism and "parks for the people," inaugurated the White House candlelight tours, and raised the funds to light the mansion at night
Special Events - This facility will hosts special events for groups from 2 to 1000.
