Nixon's presidential library is built on 9 acres of land in Yorba Linda, California, alongside his restored childhood home. After the Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation, the president was forced to turn over most of his materials and documents from his presidency. These artifacts were preserved and eventually included in the Library when it was built almost two decades later in 1990. In addition to photographs, videos, and interactive presentations about Nixon's presidency, guests can also visit his childhood home and enter the helicopter that served as Marine One for Nixon and various other presidents.

Edgar Hoover that he had been accepted, but his appointment was held back due to budget cuts. National Archives, Records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
