Taken from Wikipedia, "The original library and birthplace was officially dedicated on July 19, 1990. Former President Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon were present, as were President George H. W. Bush, former President Gerald Ford, former President Ronald Reagan, and first ladies Barbara Bush, Betty Ford, and Nancy Reagan. A crowd of 50,000 gathered for the ceremony.[3] At the dedication, Nixon said, "Nothing we have ever seen matches this moment–to be welcomed home again."
