Tampico Area Historical Society [IL]
The Tampico Area Historical Society seeks to preserve and share historical, genealogical, and local information on the Tampico, Yorktown, Thomas, Hume, and Deer Grove areas of Illinois. Tampico is the birthplace of Ronald Reagan (19112004), 40th President of the United States, and Admiral Jospeph M. Reeves (18721948), known as the "Father of Carrier Aviation." The unaffiliated birthplace of Ronald Reagan is within walking distance of the society headquarters.
The website offers a digital newsletter, transcriptions of newspaper articles, obituaries, information on historical marriages, family histories, census data, and photo galleries.
