Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum Celebrates 30 Years with Special Events in November
/RONALD REAGAN PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM CELEBRATES 30 YEARS
Library Announces Month Long Activities to Honor Milestone Including Discounted Tickets, Programs and Exhibits
“Like the office they commemorate, Presidential Libraries are living institutions. Certainly, it is my hope that the Reagan Library will become a dynamic intellectual forum where scholars interpret the past and policy makers debate the future.” – Ronald Reagan, November 4, 1991
On November 4, 1991, President Reagan stood alongside four other living U.S. Presidents – the first time in history five presidents had ever gathered together before – and officially opened the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.
During the Month of November 2021, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a month’s worth of activities, including an exhibition of rarely seen historical artifacts associated with President and Mrs. Reagan, photos and mementos from the Library’s opening, as well as from some of the highlights and events from the last 30 years. Activities include a special program on November 7 featuring Dr. Condoleezza Rice, trustee of the Reagan Foundation & Institute, and David Ferriero, Archivist of the U.S., discounted tickets, and a wide variety of musical entertainment.

Also note that guests who attend programs (as opposed to Museum visitors) must show proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID PCR test taken within 72 hours of the event to access the program.
