Whether or not you are a fan of President Reagan, the Reagan Library and Museum should be on your list of places to visit before you die. The museum collection is humdrum and most of us have little interest in the library, but the price of admission is worth paying just to walk through the Boeing 707 that Reagan used as Air Force 1 – the Presidential jet.
The second reason for visiting is free of charge and that is to drink in the view that the mountain top retreat provides. On a clear day the lemon and orange groves around the town of Moorpark are clearly visible in the valley below. At this time of the year – in early winter – the slopes of the Santa Monica are bare and the lushness in the valley is less evident than in spring when the valley takes on a green coat of many hues, yucca plants proudly poke their single flower stems high into the air and the sight and smell of the orange and lemon groves waft softly up the hillsides.
A third reason to visit is to see a piece of the Berlin wall proudly displayed in the garden close to Reagan’s tomb. Many places purport to have pieces of the Berlin wall, this one is undoubtedly authentic.
