Review:
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas, is one of the 13 presidential libraries and tells the story of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the only five-star general to become President of the United States. He was famous for the 1944 Allied invasion of Nazi Europe, the first civil rights legislation, and the Interstate Highway System, not to mention being the first “tel-evision president”.
The five galleries tell his story from his childhood in Abilene until his retirement and show the house where he lived from 1989 to 1946 as well as his final resting place. The library houses 26 million pages of historical records, 335,000 photographs, 768,000 feet of motion picture film, and 70,000 artifacts.
