The Nixon Libary is a privately funded institution that tells the story of the 37th President. Permanent exhibits chronicle Nixon on the campaign trail, as Vice President and during his tenure as President of the United States. You can also see a recreation of the Lincoln Sitting Room at the White House and a collection of Pat Nixon's dresses. The largest exhibit, as you might expect is dedicated to Watergate.

Also on the grounds are the Nixon's gravesites and the home where Richard Nixon was born and raised. It's a modest place, and an interesting slice of early twentieth century Americana.
