Review & FAQ:
Eisenhower National Historic Site, run by the National Park Service, consists of the home and farm of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States. After a long military career moving from post to post, Mamie Eisenhower insisted that they have a home of their own, and in 1950 this home and property were built.
It served as a retreat from the White House, a place to entertain foreign dignitaries, and was a place to retire to after Eisenhower’s presidency. Notable guests over the years included Nikita Khrushchev, Charles de Gaulle, and Winston Churchill. Eisenhower raised Black Angus cattle, and to this day a Black Angus cattle breeding center operates on the farm. To visit, one must catch a shuttle from the visitors center; tours of the house are self-guided and include a short movie, displays, and all of the Eisenhower’s original furnishings.
