Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower loved their Gettysburg farm. The location was perfect to them--on a historic battlefield, in the midst of a rural landscape, with gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside and mountains in the distance. The views you can see as you walk the farm grounds today are virtually unchanged from when the Eisenhowers lived here. To this day, the farm is a restful and relaxing retreat from the commotion of everyday life.

A black Angus cattle herd still pasture in the fields once grazed by Eisenhower's own show herd. Visitors to the Eisenhower farm were often treated to a farm tour complete with Eisenhower showing off his pride and joy, the show cattle and show barn.

Extensively remodeled in the 1950s to suit the Eisenhowers and reflect their tastes, today the Eisenhower farmhouse is almost frozen in time, just as it when they left it to the American people. During your visit, take a tour inside the home to reflect on the moments and memories that it witnessed, from the historic meeting between President Eisenhower and Secretary Khrushchev in 1959, to the many birthdays and holidays the Eisenhowers enjoyed with their grandchildren.
