And, he's buried in Yorba Linda, right? At the Library ~ where they moved his boyhood home, including the old furniture and kitchen stuff.

This is one of the best museum/libraries I've seen for a President. Guy had some rich friends Fur Shur.

But it was 115 degrees the day we visited.

I have never visited the Library, but my cousin who lives in Yorba Linda wrote a poem for the dedication and read it at the ceremony.

Nixon and his brother owned a wonderful drive-in restaurant (Nixon's) in Whitter where all of kids hung out.

Really bothers me the way things turned out for the Nixon's.

Nixon's boynhood home was not moved to the library. His father built it there.

In 1912, after purchasing about nine acres in what is now Yorba Linda to start a citrus farm, Frank Nixon built the house from a kit. A few months later, on January 9, 1913, Richard Nixon was born at the house. The farm later became the site of a school, which, in turn, became the site of the library.

Thne notion that the house was moved to the library is a myth that simply will not die. I am a docent at the library, and scarcely a shift at the Birthplace goes by in which someone doesn't ask about the house being moved.
