Tampico, Illinois, USA. The block containing the birthplace of Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States.
The block containing the birthplace of Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States in the small Illinois community of Tampico. Reagan was born in Tampico on Feb. 6, 1911 in an apartment that, at the time, located above a bakery. That bakery was purchased by a bank in 1919 and continued as a Bank until the 1930s. The apartment has been refinished to look as it did when Reagan was born there. The bank has been restored to again look like a working bank of the early 1900's. The store located to the South of the Bank originally was a grocery store and now houses the gift shop for the Reagan Museum. The main street in town has numerous sites and attractions dedicated to the former actor and president. Reagan was born in Tampico and then moved with his family to nearby Dixon, Illinois as a young boy. While president, Reagan returned to visit his birthplace town along with wife Nancy and a secret service detachment.
