Enjoy the View of the Mountains
Eisenhower National Historic Site
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.
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, peaceful, quiet, and gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside and South Mountain in the distance. The landscape views were a major part of the restful retreat that the farm provided the Eisenhowers during Ike's presidency and into their retirement years. The views you can see as you walk the farm grounds are virtually unchanged from when the Eisenhowers lived here. Stopping and taking a moment to see, relax, and reflect almost seems as if it could transport you back in time to when Eisenhower walked the same ground beneath your feet. To this day, the farm is a restful and relaxing retreat from the commotion of everyday life.
