The Reagan library is getting into Christmas spirit early.

Workers on Monday, fine-tuned a new Christmas exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, in Simi Valley, that is set to open on Friday.

That exhibit, “An American Christmas Story,” will feature holiday displays from all 50 states and U.S. territories.

The 5,000-square-foot exhibit, which will remain up until Jan. 8, will also boast more than 60 Christmas trees and artifacts from around the world.

The exhibit will also display Hanukkah Menorahs Reagan received during his time in the White House.

Another major highlight will be the Gold Star Memorial Tree; Gold Star families are encouraged to visit the library and add the name of their loved one who died while serving their country to the tree.
