Reagan Ranch Center Exhibit Gallery

Reagan Ranch Center Exhibit Gallery An Interactive Exhibit Gallery focused on Reagan's Ranch Admission is FREE. Note: Note: Gallery hours may be shortened or expanded for special events.

The Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara, California is open to the general public for tours and visitation Monday through Thursdays from 11 am to 4 pm. These galleries feature original Reagan Ranch artifacts matched with state-of-the-art, interactive, multimedia exhibits that highlight the history of Ronald Reagan’s quarter-century at Rancho del Cielo and the accomplishments of his presi

dency. Over six hours of dynamic multimedia exhibits provide access to exclusive speeches, interviews, radio addresses, and original video presentations. The centerpiece of the gallery is a 28-foot-long interactive “timeline” that gives users the ability to explore the “Western White House” during the 1980s. The galleries also feature several unique collections on display, including the Lorraine Wagner Letter Collection, a nearly 300-piece collection of letters written by Ronald Reagan over a 50-year period and the Russell D. Sibert Collection, featuring rare Reagan-related memorabilia such as campaign buttons, posters, and commemorative items. A massive, 5,000 pound section of the Berlin Wall—torn down 20 years ago—greets visitors as they arrive at the Reagan Ranch Center, reminding the world of Ronald Reagan’s role in eliminating this assault on human dignity and freedom. The president’s famous blue Jeep Scrambler, complete with “Gipper” license plate sits in the Center of gallery, flanked by a selection of his favorite books, an original saddle, and chainsaw owned and used by President Reagan. The Reagan Ranch Center is designed to engage visitors of all ages; younger children can even earn their “Junior Secret Service Clearance” by completing a fun and educational scavenger hunt. To schedule a group tour, please call Assistant Curator Danielle Fowler at 1-888-USA-1776. We reserve the right to refuse service to any group or individual not adhering to Gallery policies. For the latest information, please call (805) 957-1980.

"Rancho del Cielo is a national treasure. For President Reagan, it represented America. It represented freedom. Vast potential, possibilities, and opportunities—just waiting to be seized." –U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos

Thank you, Andrew Coffin, for that kind introduction. And thank you, Ron Robinson. I really admire your lifelong dedication to ensuring our next generations know and embrace freedom. There’s nothing more important than the formation of America’s future, her students.

Another great TripAdvisor review:

“Great Representation of Memories”

It felt like going into Reagan's world. He is a hero of mine so the personal touches confirmed to me that he was who he seemed to be.

You can tell a lot about someone from what they read. Peruse President Reagan’s bookcase at the Ranch and you’ll find the works of Louis L’Amour, Winston Churchill, Whittaker Chambers, William F. Buckley, Jr., and more. Stop by the Reagan Ranch Center and check out the replica bookcase and find out how these key books influenced President Reagan.
