The proposed Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home National Historic Site would preserve the 816 South Hennepin Street, Dixon, Illinois house in which President of the United States Ronald Reagan lived beginning in 1920.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1982. The home is open to the public, operated by the Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home Foundation. On February 6, 2002 (Public Law 107-137), the United States Secretary of the Interior was authorized to purchase the property from the foundation and establish a national historic site. Once established the site would presumably fall under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.
