I was home in Dixon visiting family for the holidays and stopped into the Telegraph History Museum. Loved the old photos and memorablia. The staff at the paper was so nice to chat with also. I would recommend you stop in for this free glimpse of the history of Dixon and the newspaper.

The staff takes time to answer your questions. Lots of fun stuff to see. Great place to take Cub Scouts.
