President Richard Nixon toured Mar-a-Lago on an impromptu visit in the summer of 1974. That was a month before he resigned the presidency which happened 48 years ago today on Aug. 9, 1974.
At the time, the former estate of Marjorie Merriweather Post was in the possession of the U.S. government, which had inherited the property from the General Foods heiress. Post had hoped the sprawling estate would become a sort of southern Camp David.
That, according to White House records from 1974, was the reason for Nixon's brief visit. The entry in Nixon's daily diary for that date, July 7, 1974, said the president "looked over the property to determine its potential for possible use by U.S. presidents for visiting foreign dignitaries."

Nixon, the 37th president, flew to Mar-a-Lago via helicopter from his Key Biscayne residence in Miami. It was a quick tour the daily diary states Nixon was at Mar-a-Lago for just 31 minutes. He was accompanied by his longtime friend and confidant Charles "Bebe" Rebozo, a Miami banker
