Despite the demise of his political career in the wake of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon had a surprisingly accomplished political career up to that point. To learn about that and also various aspects of his personal life, visit the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, California. Various personal items stand alongside career-oriented exhibits in this charming but unassuming home. In his later years, he contributed much to the political scene based on his experiences, and the library on the premises does an admirable job of presenting various aspects of Nixon's life before, during and after his Presidency.
The Big Bear Solar Observatory proves to be as mighty and impressive as its name. This facility was originally built back in 1965 by the California Institute of Technology and is now maintained by the New Jersey Institute of Technology. It has the distinction of being one of only six solar observatories in the world, plus the added attraction of being located on an island in the center of a lake in the San Bernardino Mountains. The location proves to be ideal for looking heavenward as there is minimal pollution, the skies are typically clear, and the airflow is smooth, making for great views that are nothing less than stunning.
