About Ronald Reagan Home

The Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home lets you get a true feel for the 40th president's life as a child. The restored home was originally built in 1891 and was home to Ronald Reagan and his family in the early 1920s. Visitors can take guided tours of the home to see young Reagan’s bedroom and find old the secret hiding place for his pennies. A visitor center contains four rooms of photos and a display of the Reagan presidential timeline, and a gift shop sells memorabilia and T-shirts. Outside, a flower and vegetable garden showcases heritage plants, and check out Bessy, the refurbished Model T Ford that's not unlike the car Reagan's family would have driven.

My mom and I had a wonderful time. Marilyn in the visitor center was very knowledgeable and Mike McBride who gave us the tour of the home very knowledgeable took his time in explaining all the details. We loved it!

What an enjoyable afternoon we had at the boyhood home of Ronald Reagan. We learned so much from our docent Jerry. Patrick (at the visitor center) was great to answer our questions and he made sure that our visit was a memorable experience. Everyone should see this. Thank you so much.

Allow enough time to view the video prior to touring the home. Very interesting and historical.

The tour was informative but the continual political commentary became so offensive and inappropriate that we walked out halfway through the tour.
