Description

Our first visit to a Presidential Library . .. what an interesting way to preserve history. I found the architecture of this building to be so unique and very avant garde and contemporary. It is also one of the greenest buildings in the USA.

These libraries make no political statement at all . . they house the records of the President which are looked after by the National Archives. Inside there is a replica down to the finest detail of how the Oval Office was set up during that President`s term. There was also a duplicate of the cabinet room.

The rest of the library devotes itself to showcasing memorabilia from that President`s tenure and you get to visit the timelines of history during that era.

No federal monies can go towards the erection of the building, however, if you wish the National Archives to be involved, you must turn over all your records from your Administration. Interestingly enough, not all Presidential Libraries have done this.
