Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Museum, and Tomb, California

The place that tells the official story of President Ronald Reagan is his presidential library and museum in Simi Valley, located between Hollywood and his ranch in the mountains above Santa Barbara. The library is the largest of the thirteen presidential libraries administered by the National Archives. When it opened in 1991, five presidents and six first ladies were on hand for its dedication, the largest collection of presidential personalities ever assembled in one place. Though the Clinton Presidential Library holds more documents, the Reagan Library has more space, covering nearly 250,000 square feet, including the hangar that covers his Boeing 707 Air Force One. When Reagan died in 2004, his body was flown from California to Washington DC for services there, then back to California, where it was driven up to the library from Point Mugu Naval Station, and placed in his tomb. He was joined there by his wife Nancy, in 2016. Though Reagan is buried there, he had little direct connection to Simi Valley itself.
