I have lived in Dixon all my life. I attended the school that is now the Dixon Historical Center. I was there for nursery school, Kindergarten, and 1st thru 8th grades. I am so glad that the building has been renovated into such a beautiful place. Even shortened hours would be great for Saturdays and or Sundays. As a tourist attraction the weekends are the best.

Ever consider weekend hours? What tourist is around at 9-4 during the week? Incredible architecture fascinating history! but hard to see if you work during the week.
