In this Monday Minute in the Archives, we take a closer look at a simple yet personal piece of history—a khaki shirt worn by President Reagan at his beloved Rancho del Cielo, now stored in the Reagan Library's archives.
This month, we're highlighting a handful of items President and Mrs. Reagan used while enjoying their cherished ranch in the Santa Ynez mountains. High above the coast, Rancho del Cielo was a peaceful escape where the President could relax, work the land, and feel truly at home.
Today's featured item is a khaki long-sleeve shirt with pearl-like button closures down the front. President Reagan wore it during his time at the ranch. Look closely, and you'll spot a special detail—"Rancho del Cielo" stitched in bright red thread just above the breast pocket. It's a small touch that shows how much this special place meant to him.
This piece is part of the Reagan Library's archives, offering a personal glimpse into the everyday life of America's 40th President away from Washington.
