Explore the special Christmas display, All-Aboard, America! featuring four spectacular layouts of model trains whistling over bridges, through snow-capped mountains and stopping in miniature towns and cities.
Take photographs with the beautiful Pat Nixon White House Gingerbread House ¡ª custom-baked to look like President Nixon¡¯s birthplace!
NEW THIS YEAR: Enjoy a 20-foot tall Nixon White House Christmas tree ¡ª decked out in red, white and blue.
The showcase reflects President Nixon¡¯s love of trains that began in his Yorba Linda childhood. In his Memoirs, he recalled,
¡°In the daytime, I could see the smoke from the steam engines. Sometimes at night, I was awakened by the whistle of a train and then I dreamed of the far-off places I wanted to visit someday.¡±
