2025 Annual Eisenhower Society Birthday Luncheon

Following the Eisenhower Society’s commemoration of Dwight Eisenhower’s 135th birthday anniversary at its annual statue ceremony, all are welcomed to gather for a buffet luncheon at the Dobbin House at 1pm October 11. The price is $35 a person. Luncheon registration ends at 12 noon on Monday October 6.

After lunch, the featured speaker is Professor Brian Black of Penn State University/Altoona. An authority on American environmental history, Professor Black will speak on “Ike’s Road Trip,” the title of his recent book focused on Eisenhower’s participation in a 1919 cross country army convoy. That experience planted the seeds of Eisenhower’s interest in improving American transport through a national road system—a project launched with the passage, during his presidency, of the National Highway Act. His book will be available at the luncheon, and he will gladly sign it at the conclusion of his program.
