The Eisenhower National Historic Site preserves the only permanent home ever owned by Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower. Located adjacent to the historic Gettysburg Battlefield, the farm provided the President with a much-needed sanctuary from the pressures of Washington. The site is not only a personal residence but also a significant piece of international history, having hosted world leaders for informal summits during the Cold War. Visitors can explore the home's interior, walk through the historic barns, and enjoy the rolling hills of the Pennsylvania countryside. The experience offers a compelling look at Eisenhower’s transition from a military hero to a global leader, all within a serene and beautifully maintained park.
