There is no better place to understand Reagan’s principles, and his practical, down-to-earth manner, than at Rancho del Cielo, the “Ranch in the Sky.” A much needed counterpoint to the constant buzz of Washington, D.C., Rancho del Cielo conveys the true spirit of Reagan. If you want to understand Ronald Reagan, says former First Lady Nancy Reagan, then go to the Ranch.

President Ronald Reagan’s Rancho del Cielo was his home of nearly 25 years and the “Western White House” for 8 years. As Reagan once said,”No place before or since has ever given Nancy and me the joy and serenity it does.”

Young America’s Foundation stepped forward to save Rancho del Cielo in the spring of 1998 to preserve, protect, and utilize the Ranch as unique and impactful tool to pass on Ronald Reagan’s ideas and lasting accomplishments to future generations. President Reagan committed himself to reaching young people with conservative ideas—a goal that is also central to the Foundation’s mission.

The ranch is open for Young America’s Foundation conferences and private tours. Get involved with YAF today and find an upcoming event at the Reagan Ranch. You can also visit the Reagan Ranch Center in beautiful downtown Santa Barbara, where our galleries and exhibits are open to the public. Young America’s Foundation also preserves the Reagan Boyhood Home in Dixon, Illinois, which is also open to the public for tours. Schedule your visit with YAF today!
