20-40 Minutes
Tour the Eisenhower Home
Eisenhower National Historic Site
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.
Take a tour of the only home that Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower ever owned! Tours begin with an introduction from a Park Ranger and then are self-paced through the home. Information on how to tour the Eisenhower home is all found here. When inside the home, visitors can use a home guide to navigate room to room. This is available here. Tour times vary by season. Visit the park webpage for up to date listings. Groups of ten or more must book tour times two weeks in advance, outside of public tour hours, to ensure staff and parking availability.
