| Additional Information | The state slogan of Illinois became "Land of Lincoln" in 1955. Ronald Reagan was born and raised in Illinois and, like Lincoln, eventually ascended to the Presidency. The state slogan was also applied to the native-born son of Illinois and "Illinois, Land of Reagan," came to be. The iconic image of Reagan wearing a cowboy hat was taken in 1976 at Rancho Del Cielo. Rancho Del Cielo translates to ranch of the heavens. This ranch became a popular second home for Regan after he purchased it in 1973. He even made use of the ranch during his presidency, with many drawing comparisons to George Washington's Mount Vernon estate. |
