Open seven days a week, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is located on nine acres in Yorba Linda, California, on the original site of President Richard Nixon's birthplace home. We invite you to visit our Permanent Galleries to learn more about the life and times of Richard Nixon. Visit Exhibitions to learn what special exhibitions are open or coming soon.

In addition to our permanent gallery, the grounds surrounding Richard Nixon's birthplace home and Army One/Marine One helicopter are open for museum visitors during museum operating hours.

Interior tours of both the home and the helicopter may be closed for interior tours due to inclement weather, including rain, wind, and excessive heat. Please contact us on the day of your visit to inquire of their status.

Please note that interior tours of the helicopter are temporarily  suspended while museum staff work to preserve and maintain the interior of the helicopter. This work is crucial in the preservation of this vital piece of history. Thank you for your understanding.

The well-being of our visitors and staff is our top priority, and we have adjusted our visitor experience to meet current health and safety guidelines. Please click HERE to learn more about visiting us!
