Michael Reagan to Lead Tour of IL Reagan Sites
EUREKA, Ill. (AP) -- Eureka College is observing the 99th anniversary of the birth of alumnus Ronald Reagan with a tour to Reagan-related sites that will be led by Reagan's eldest son, Michael Reagan.

The event begins Saturday with breakfast and a tour of the Ronald Reagan Museum at Eureka College.

Participants will travel by charter bus to the Tampico, where the former president was born, and his boyhood home in Dixon. The Dixon stop will include "Ronald Reagan's 99th Birthday Celebration Luncheon" at Sauk Valley Community College with Michael Reagan as keynote speaker. The tour returns to campus in late afternoon.

The event marks the first time that Michael Reagan will see his father's birthplace and childhood home.

The event is a scholarship fundraiser and costs $99.
