Overview

Menu Open Menu Closed

Eisenhower National Historic Site is the home and farm of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Located adjacent to the Gettysburg Battlefield, the farm served the President as a weekend retreat and a meeting place for world leaders. With its peaceful setting and view of South Mountain, it was a much-needed respite from Washington and a backdrop for efforts to reduce Cold War tensions.

Tour the President’s home, enjoy a self-guided walk around the farm, or join a park ranger for an exploration of 1950s Secret Service operations or a look back at WWII and Ike’s problems as Supreme Commander.

Children (ages 6-12) may become Junior Rangers by doing activities in the Junior Ranger booklet. New rangers are awarded a badge and certificate!
