The first President was Ronald Reagan. The library and museum is located in Simi Valley, CA. You drive up a hill to the top, beautiful views. 

Ronald Reagan was the 40th President from Jan. 1981 to Jan. 1989. The First Lady was Nancy Reagan.

He was a football player and was a lifeguard. But most of all you would know him has an actor too.

Here is a copy of the Oval Office at the White House.

Nancy Reagan

Here is Air Force One that he used during his terms. You can go in it to see what it looked like. When they were getting feed it was always on china plates that Nancy picked out. Also, there was always a cake on board just in case it was somebody’s birthday or for anything to celebrate, Reagan idea.

Here were his limousine and helicopter.

Here is a piece of the Berlin Wall that he helps get it taken down.

"I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life." - Ronald Reagan (11/4/1991)
