the gardens at the library


The gardens and landscaping at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum are quite beautiful.  Mrs. Nixon loved roses and there is a lovely rose garden near where she and her husband are buried.  The white gazebo was used during the wedding of their oldest daughter when she was married at the white house.  It was later placed here on the grounds of the library.


This boot print in cement is located in the Buzz Aldrin Moonwalk Plaza in the courtyard area of the gardens.  Buzz Aldrin made this imprint while wearing a copy of the actual boot made from the original mold on the thirtieth anniversary (1999) of the first NASA moonwalk.  All six moonwalks were done during the Nixon presidency.


This fountain and these flags welcome visitors to the grounds of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.
