Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
History buffs will want to make a trip to the city of Yorba Linda (8 miles northeast of Anaheim, 37 miles southeast of Downtown L.A.) to learn more about President Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States. The library is an archival space, housing millions of photographs, documents, and artifacts related to Nixon's life starting in 1913. Now a National Historic Landmark, the museum sheds light to Nixon's early life in Yorba Linda, his early political career, and his tumultuous presidency. There are displays about the Watergate scandal and his resignation in 1974, as well as his role in foreign policy with China and the Soviet Union.
