A President is Born - Reagan Itineraries

Add your listing here

President Ronald Reagan, who was always proud of his roots in the Blackhawk Waterways region of northwest Illinois, would have turned 100 years old February 6, 2011 and our communities with direct ties to our 40th president are going all out this year to mark this important centennial.

Many national events are planned to commemorate the Centennial and the Blackhawk Waterways region is no exception with many centennial events that will help visitors better identify with Reagan's life by walking his footsteps in these historically rich Illinois towns. Visitors will experience the neighborhoods, parks and churches that shaped his personal character and ultimately the character of the country.
