He must of been a good man, because his crime was to sneak a peek at the opposition play book, and erase A few minutes on a tape, which probably talked about it.. Obama weaponized the FBI to do a on going wire tap of his opponent, with a false dossier provided by Hillary, and she erased many years of digital memory without remorse, and no one gets in trouble.. Nixon resigns in shame.. Hillary and Obama just double down and keep lying without remorse.. Only a good man feels remorse and admits wrong doing.. Even though it pales in comparison to what was done by our leaders recently.. Glad at least My eyes have been opened to the hypocrisy.. After 40 years a Democrat I switched parties..

I'm glad they decided on Yorba Linda, a more fitting place to have it. My article scooped the local and national press because the visit to CSUF was supposed to be a secret.

Dwight Eisenhower (who Nixon served as VP under) was the same way. When people asked him what it was like growing up in a poor lifestyle, he would frown and say, "I don't know what you're talking about."

​ @dajwe216 That sounds like one of those sayings, that people used to think was so profound, and promotes a good ole boy image... But unless a kid is isolated from the world or stupid, they know they are poor. Its not an abstract concept thats hard to understand.

That was really interesting. Mrs. Eisenhower is a remarkable lady. I can’t say that I agree with all of her opinions, but I admire her for the generosity of spirit she has shown, in her work with children and with people who have special needs, in helping people to realise their potential, and of course for her loyalty and devotion to her parents. This, alongside the grace with which she has conducted herself, is an inspiration.

The interviewer is inexplicably amazed that the original house is on the original lot. I wish Mo Rococca had done the interview. He interviewed her and David Eisenhower recently and it was very interesting.

[@retroguy9494]

Well, you have to bear in mind that many of these small houses that leaders were born and raised in over 100 years ago fell victim to large developments or simply rotted away to a lack of quality in materials and lack of maintenance. For the most part, its only the large estates where leaders were born like FDR's house in Hyde Park that survive today.

[@californian1459]

We took a tour of the house in 1999 and the tour guide told us this was not the original location, that it had been moved from a nearby location.

This morning 6-22-2024, I was at the Nixon Library for the Nixon 5K Run For Title IX which started and ended in the parking lot. We ran along the El Cajon trail, formerly a canal during Nixon's childhood. I grew up and live nearby and attended 5th grade at a small former private school which is now Friends Christian School. After school in the 1970-1980 school year, we would go across the street and play on the campus of Richard Nixon Elementary School, the current site of the Nixon Library. I also remember an older couple living in the birthplace home at the time. I'm not sure if they were residents or caretakers at the time.

[@joycebenton9368]

Any home or families can bring up a great people from different fields. It just depends on the family education from parents, influences from surrounding and own learning experiences as learning more to understand more and do better things by trying own best only as well as his own luck too. This is why any great people of any field doesn’t necessarily can’t come from small house or large house or richer or poorer of families of any races or any genders from either the history or from any country of the world. Same does in our country America. The former President Nixon obviously was an one of great President who got some important things done in his Presidency. He loved America and cherished freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities principles as America’s greatness always for sure as well as tried his best to get things done quickly as he could. The small house also raised a great people who finally from his dream of engineer turned into a President of our country for some of America’s greatness too.

[@normalawson4893]

[@retroguy9494]

I don't know why she keeps referring to it as "the little house." It looks like a pretty decent size house for the time to ME. My own grandmothers house was about that size. Only it didn't have that many small rooms but rather one living room, a kitchen which was the largest room in the house where we all ate holiday meals and one bedroom a bit bigger than the Nixon one. Also it had no upstairs room but it DID have an enclosed heated porch on the side of the house. She had a much larger house, but when her 4 children all married and moved out, they sold it and built the one to which I refer. But I guess if one is used to a house the size of La Casa Pacifica in San Clemente or a Park Avenue Apartment in New York City or the White House, this house IS a 'little house.'

When I first saw that house, I thought, wow, that sure look like a house we lived in for years. It was a Montgomery Ward house. After closer looking, it was not near what this house is. I would guess our house was built about 1920. It was a kit house. You ordered it, they would drop off everything at your location where you wanted it. It had real 2x4 boards on 10 inch centers. It was built to last. It has an old coal furnace that was converted to fuel oil. It had a cistern. Hardwood floors. One bathroom upstairs. One toilet in the basement. It still stands today, occupied. It has not been added on to, mostly because it was on a half lot on the corner. It was such a great place to live.

I don't think its such a little modest house as the guy keeps referring to it here. It looks a fine house of maybe 150 sq meters and must have been considered a very fine house in the 1910's / 1920's .. As a modern day build it would obviously have a higher upstairs ceiling and wider staircase with a different interior layout, re-purposed pantry and sowing rooms. I thought the house was moved and rebuilt at the library, I didn't realize the library was built up around the original house.
