Over the years, we have visited the
libraries, museums, or graves of several presidents. The Adamses,
John and John Quincy along with their wives, are buried in the
basement of a church. Nixon's grave is next to the house in which he
was born. The grounds around the house contain the library and
museum. The museum has, among lots of other things, the chair in
which he sat when he wrote his resignation speech. Nice chair. They
don't whitewash Watergate in the museum but the room about that
subject is very dark. As a docent said to me, "It was a very dark
time in his life." Reagan's is called a library and museum but I saw
no evidence of a library. Maybe I missed it, same as I missed
whatever it was that made him so popular. |
