Early Years Gallery

“Dutch” Reagan’s youth growing up in Dixon, Illinois, his college days, and a lively career first in radio broadcasting and then in Hollywood come alive through artifacts, images, and audio visual presentations. Reagan’s active duty during World War II in the U.S. Air Forces with the First Motion Picture Unit, his return to the entertainment industry at the end of the war, and his marriage to Nancy Davis trace Reagan in the time before he entered politics.
