Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home

In this house in small-town Illinois began a journey that would one day lead a young Ronald Reagan to the White House. The Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home offers a glimpse into the modest surroundings that shaped a young boy’s character—where hard work, faith, family, and community laid the foundation for a life of purpose. These humble beginnings instilled the values that guided Reagan throughout his life, from his early years in Dixon to his leadership on the world stage.
