Happy 101st, Ronald Reagan! Posts from Tampico and the entire Reagan Trail

Reagan birthplace, February 11, 2011

The greatest president of my lifetime, Ronald Reagan, was born 101 years ago today in Tampico, Illinois. Last year I took the 100 mile drive to the small town for the centennial celebration.

Below you will find my posts about that trip--along with all of my entries about my journey last June on Illinois' Ronald Reagan Trail. Many of the trail posts contain videos produced by the Ronald Reagan Trail Association.

The Reagan birthplace and museum will be open from 10am-4pm today.

Happy birthday, Gipper!
