Tampico, IL – The only U-S President born in Illinois would have turned one-hundred this Sunday. So this weekend, the towns that call Ronald Reagan their own are throwing a string of parties to celebrate the nation's 40th president. WNIJ's Susan Stephens visited the town where it all started: Reagan's birthplace, Tampico.
