America 250: Special Exhibition at Reagan Library

Celebrate America’s Legacy: Experience Reagan Library with Catered Lunch Under Air Force One

 

Perched high above Simi Valley, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library offers sweeping views and an inspiring tribute to the American story. This visit is especially meaningful as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence. This thoughtfully designed day trip blends elegance, history, and reflection in one remarkable setting.

 

Your visit begins with a catered white-linen luncheon served beneath the wings of Air Force One within the museum. Dine just steps from the very aircraft that carried President Reagan and many others across the globe, an experience both refined and uniquely presidential.

 

After lunch, you'll have the freedom to explore the museum at your own pace with an audio tour, taking in the life and legacy of America’s 40th president in a way that feels most meaningful to you. Wander through immersive galleries that trace his journey from small-town beginnings to the world stage, step inside a full-scale replica of the Oval Office, and experience the powerful presence of a section of the Berlin Wall.

 

Stroll the museum’s permanent galleries and the special America 250 exhibition, a sweeping and meaningful tribute to over two centuries of American independence. As the nation commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the exhibition honors the enduring principles of liberty and self-government that shaped our country.

 

Inspired by President Reagan’s deep belief in freedom and “We the People,” this experience highlights the defining moments that built the nation, while also reflecting on how those ideals have evolved over time. It’s both a celebration of America’s rich history and an invitation to consider the ongoing journey toward a more perfect union.
