It's been lost to history what company made the kit that Frank Nixon bought to build Richard Nixon's birthplace. The docents invited Saddleback College Architecture Professors Blake Stephens and Stephen Bellingham to share their insights on the house at one of our Docent Guild monthly lunch seminars.

Today, the birthplace is owned by the Richard Nixon Foundation and its grounds are now home to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.

A New Tribute Celebrates Retired Docents.

Celebrating a legacy of service at the Nixon Library a new plaque in the Docent Lounge honors the Docent Retirees. It has a place of honor beneath the portrait of Richard Nixon (painted by Docent Rosemary Tuthill.)

Initiated by former VP Membership and current Auxiliary Chair Marilee Littlefield the plaque honors the first Docents to enter the official Retirement Program initiated in January of 2025. Most of these Retirees have many more than 10 years of dedicated service. Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
