    1. Richard M Nixon, President
    2. http://www.nixonfoundation.org/ Those wishing to virtual tour online at the above website, may not have the opportunity to visit in person the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace at Yorba Linda, California. Hyden the County seat of Leslie County has honored President Nixon for many years. The former President and his wife have memorial resting places next to the home of Richard Nixon's parents they built in 1912. On January 9, 1913, Richard Nixon was born in this little Yorba Linda Farmhouse. His father, Frank Nixon, built this house just a year earlier from a catalogue kit on 8.2 acres of the existing nine-acre museum site. I have a new color photo of this home I made today and is immediately available to anyone that contacts me directly so that you may wish to add to your collections. I am told by the docents at the Library this Presidential Library has become the most visited Library among our Former Presidents. For any of the list members that make comparisons of construction it is noteworthy the Nixon home was built in 1912, The Roderick McIntosh home at McIntosh Creek was hand built in 1810 is marvelous in a beautiful location of Leslie County. Yorba Linda in 1912 was a desert landscape. The photo is yours for the asking. May Peace be with all this Labor Day Week of 2005, JOHN in CA (born Hyden, KY)
