LOWELL PARK
AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNY INTO THE VERY HEART OF AMERICAN HISTORY

Imagine having the opportunity to travel back in time to any place you desire. 

That is the situation facing beautiful college student Jennifer Brix in Lowell Park. A graduate student at the University of Iowa, Jenny saves the life of an aged professor. As a reward, he tells Jenny he will send her anywhere in time she wishes to go.

Though she does not believe him, Jenny goes along with the plan because she does not want to hurt his feelings. She selects the summer of 1932, when Ronald Reagan is spending his seventh summer as a lifeguard at Lowell Park. It is a beautiful area just two miles north of Dixon, Illinois, the small town where young Dutch Reagan grew to manhood.

But the time machine malfunctions…and Jennifer winds up in Lowell Park in 1832 instead. Leaving the time machine, she steps gingerly into a new world, still unaware that she has really traveled in time. She hears a wild shout  — and turns to see three Indians racing towards her. She runs away…straight into the arms of a tall, lanky stranger who is heading up a group of  Illinois militia of volunteers from New Salem.

Jenny has just met Abe Lincoln, 23-year-old captain who served in the Black Hawk Wars in the very same area which was to later become Lowell Park!

Stunned by the developments, Jenny can hardly believe what is happening to her, until she is captured by Chief Black Hawk. Abe and his ragtag troops rush to the rescue, but Jenny is suddenly whisked away to 1932 — and finds herself watching a large group of young, happy kids swimming in the Rock River.

When a young boy screams out in terror, caught in the swift-flowing river, everyone freezes…. until a handsome 22-year-old Adonis in a black suit races past Jenny and dives headlong into the swirling waters. Dutch Reagan saved 77 lives during his seven years as a lifeguard in Lowell Park, and Jenny is now seeing one of those rescues firsthand.

Jenny becomes caught up in a wholesome, romantic adventure as 1932 Dixon comes to life. She develops a crush on the young Ronald Reagan, and he returns the favor. But she was warned she can only stay in the time warp for a small amount of time before it is impossible to return to the present. Jenny is faced with a staggering dilemma…does she stay in 1932 with young Dutch Reagan or return to 1990 America?

Lowell Park is a fanciful, nostalgic story based on historical fact. Both Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan actually did spend time in Lowell Park just 100 years apart.

Today, Lowell Park is a beautiful location untouched by time. The minute you descend down into it, you can visualize Ronald Reagan riding through the park as a 22-year-old on his way to his beloved summer job. In the eight years he was President, Mr. Reagan spoke fondly and wistfully of the time he spent in Lowell Park. The site is available for a movie to be shot there.

Lowell Park was written to be a warm, sentimental tale in the fashion of “Field of Dreams,” with a strong educational element to it, as well. There are several major plot twists…. including one near the end that will shock and delight the audience!
