Presidential Birthplace

Driving from Long Beach to Palm Springs I had a choice of attractions to visit. Disneyland or the birthplace of Richard Nixon. So Micky Mouse cartoons or Micky Mouse politics take your choice.

In the end I decided to go for the Presidential Birthplace and Library. The prefab house built by Nixon's father is still standing, but alongside is now a massive museum and full size replica of the East Room in the White House. The museum was very interesting and gave quite a balanced view of the former Comander in Chief, including a large section on Watergate.

There is also the Presidential Helicopter in the garden and the Limo in the museum.
