Simi Valley highlight
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
A federal presidential museum and research library located on a 29-acre campus in Simi Valley, dedicated on November 4, 1991, and operated by the National Archives.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library sits on a 100-acre site in the Simi Valley hills, with a 29-acre developed campus that includes the main museum building, archival facilities, and grounds. The library was dedicated on November 4, 1991, and operates as a federal research facility and public museum managed by the National Archives and Records Administration. The museum itself preserves more than 60,000 artifacts, 1.6 million photographs and film clips, and 63.6 million pages of textual material documenting President Reagan's life, career and administration.
Visitors can explore permanent exhibits and rotating exhibits that trace Reagan's journey from Hollywood to the Oval Office, with audio tours and guided tours available daily. The library opens from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Sunday, with a research room available by appointment during weekday mornings for scholars and the public seeking access to archival collections. General admission is $16 for adults, with reduced rates for seniors and children; active military members receive free admission.
For families in Simi Valley, the library represents a local destination that marks moments across a lifetime: a school field trip for one child, a later visit with grandparents, years of passes as the collection grows. Those visits, like the plans they inspire, are built on the assumption that the people you rely on will still be here. A term policy sized to cover a mortgage and your family's years of need is how that assumption holds when circumstances change.
