On a mountaintop overlooking the valleys and Santa Cruz Island, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library wows visitors by the view and size. This is the largest presidential library in the country. There is a full size replica of the Oval Office, and more impressively, the Air Force One that served from Nixon to George W. Bush is on exhibit, and visitors can walk through the interior. In honor of President Reagan's tireless effort to tear down the Berlin wall, a piece of it is placed in the library. The two sides of concrete clearly show the difference between East Berlin and West Berlin. The library also has many striking images of President Reagan, which gives visitors of all generations a good idea of the world in the 1980s.
