The Nancy Reagan Breast CenterNancy Reagan was among the greatest First Ladies America has ever had. From her dedication to President Reagan to her caring and kind ways towards people; she truly was committed to making the world a better place. After President Reagan left office and he began to focus his attention on the construction of his Presidential Library in Simi Valley, both he and Nancy wanted to invest even more into the community after the Library was built. That led them to become ingratiated with Adventist Health Simi Valley which resulted in the construction and the implementation of the Nancy Reagan Breast Center.According to the Adventist Health Simi Valley website:“Premier prevention, detection, and treatment of breast diseaseWelcome to the Nancy Reagan Breast Center of ...

Air Force One at the Ronald Reagan Presidential LibraryThe Air Force One Pavilion, located inside of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, is truly a monument to history. The Pavilion, which houses the formerly operational Air Force One aircraft, was used by every president from 1973-2001 – this list includes presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and George W. Bush. To say that the Boeing 707 that acted as Air Force One transported some of the most powerful men that have ever existed is not an understatement. According to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute:Air Force One, currently on display at the Air Force One Pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.

The 118 Freeway is one of the most important components of the lifeblood of Simi Valley. Without it, drivers would be forced to take the Santa Susana Pass into the San Fernando Valley, and backroads to get into Thousand Oaks and Moorpark. The 118, although so pivotal to the transportation of drivers from and thru Simi Valley, is relatively young. The 118 Freeway didn’t exist in its entirety (with the 8 exits that it has now) until 1980, and it didn’t extend all the way to Moorpark until 1993. Although the 118 Freeway, in Simi Valley, is only a little over 40 years old, the history of the 118 itself goes back further than that. According to CA Highways: “In 1954, route studies were conducted for the Simi Valley Freeway (Route 118) from Desoto Avenue to the proposed Foothill Freeway (publ...

Simi Valley is home to a variety of unique and interesting things. Here is a list of 10 things about Simi Valley that a lot of people might not know: The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is the most trafficked presidential library in the entire United States. The Reagan Presidential Library has seen a number of historical exhibits visit, presidential primary debates are regularly held at it, and the normal exhibits they house attract people from all over the world. Corriganville has been the filming location for over 3,500 movies, TV programs, and commercials. With Simi Valley being so close to Los Angeles, it makes sense that so much filming would take place there. What’s also interesting is that filming, especially lower-budgeted family dramas, TV productions, and commercials are st...

Simi Valley has a long history of famous people coming to visit.Here is a partial list of 5 famous people who have come to Simi Valley:   Steven SpielbergWhen Steven Spielberg was looking for a place to film his horror classic, Poltergeist in 81-82, he needed a house that perfectly conveyed the feeling and vibe that he was looking for. After scouting for homes throughout the Greater LA Area, he settled on a home in Simi Valley. The house that served as the home for the Freeling family needed to have a very middle-class/suburban feel, and he found that. The home is still standing to this day (with it being known as the Poltergeist House).  Wayne GretzkyOften referred to as “The Great One,” the Canadian-born Gretzky is one of the most famous athletes of all time. The greatest hockey playe...

Since the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library opened, there have been four presidential debates that the Library has hosted. All four of these debates occurred during the Republican Primary. The four debates that have taken place at the Library include two that happened during the 2008 primary, one during the 2012 primary, and the last one was during the 2016 primary. More likely than not, if the 2020 Republican Primary had been competitive, there would have been a debate hosted during that campaign as well.The reason why any debates have happened at the Library is due to President Reagan’s vision.According to the Ronald Reagan Library’s website:“When Ronald Reagan opened the doors to his presidential library in 1991, he stated that he wanted the Library to be more than just a place for ...
