In observance of the federal holiday, the Museum will be closed on Christmas Day. We will reopen on Wednesday, December 26.

The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is located on nine acres in Yorba Linda, California on the site of President Nixon's birthplace.

The permanent galleries reopened to the public on October 14, 2016. In addition to these newly opened galleries, the grounds include President Nixon's Helicopter and Birthplace. The Helicopter and Birthplace may be closed due to inclement weather, including rain, wind, and excessive heat. Please contact us on the day of your visit to inquire of their status.

Use the information below to help you plan your visit to our museum, garden, helicopter, and birthplace.
