Dixon speaker and historian Tom Wadsworth is coming to Oregon to present his research into Charles R. Walgreen and his connections to Dixon on Saturday, July 12. The one-hour program starts at 10:00am and includes over 100 rare photos and PowerPoint slides.
Walgreen started his drug store career in Dixon in 1891. By his death in 1939, he had built an empire of almost 500 stores throughout the nation. Wadsworth’s presentation focuses on Walgreen’s connections to Dixon and our rural area of northern Illinois.
