Eisenhower National Historic Site
Eisenhower National Historic Site preserves the farm of General and 34th President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Adjacent to the Gettysburg battlefield, the farm served the president and first lady as a weekend retreat and as a meeting place for world leaders. With its peaceful setting and view of South Mountain, it was a respite from Washington, DC, and a backdrop for efforts to reduce Cold War tensions.
The grounds of Eisenhower NHS are open daily, sunrise to sunset. December 2022: the Eisenhower Home is open for tours on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. All tours start at the Gettysburg NMP Visitor Center.
