During your class trip to Los Angeles, you may want to visit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Reagan’s career expanded over more than five decades and inspired Americans to achieve more than they could imagine. The events and exhibits at the museum rediscover his values, actions, and spirit of determination. Your team can take a tour of the location as part of the experience.
The exhibitions at the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum are fascinating and educational. Your class will find exhibits such as Secret Service, the Oval Office, and the Ronald Reagan Library. The Air Force One Aircraft is also a part of the museum. The Oval Office Gallery is a full-sized reproduction of the office as it appeared during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. The library also contains archives with items such as photographs, speeches, personal papers, and audiovisual collections. The Audiovisual collections contain the Whitehouse Photograph Collection, the Whitehouse Television Collection, and a collection of Whitehouse Communication Agency videotapes.
The Air Force One pavilion at the museum is a must-see during your class visit. Participants will have the opportunity to walk onboard the famous aircraft that flew President Reagan 660,000 miles – to 26 different countries around the globe. The plane was the “flying Whitehouse” for seven U.S. presidents from 1973 until 2001. The class will also have the opportunity to view one of Reagan’s presidential limousines and Secret Service suburbans as part of an exhibit on presidential motorcades. Pupils can also walk around an actual Marine One helicopter that flew President Johnson as part of the experience.
