Day out Around Los Angeles: Ronald Reagan Library

Situated in Simi Valley northwest of Los Angeles, the Ronald Reagan Library chronicles the life and accomplishments of the colorful American leader. Besides the series of exhibits you'd expect to find chronicling the President's childhood, acting career and political achievements, other exhibits include a land-based Cruise Missile, one of the few remaining after the 1987 INF Treaty and full-scale replicas of both Reagan's Oval Office and the Geneva Boathouse where the first Reagan-Gorbachev summit took place. However, the most spectacular thing on display is the Boeing 707 airplane that served as Air Force One during his administration.
