Eisenhower National Historic Site

History:

Located adjacent to the Gettysburg Battlefield, the Eisenhower National Historic Site is the presidential and retirement home of Dwight D. Eisenhower. It also served the President as a weekend retreat and a meeting place for world leaders. Purchased by Eisenhower in 1950, the 189 acre farm sported a show herd of Angus cattle and served as a presidential retreat, temporary White House, and meeting place for world leaders. The site today comprises 690 acres and is still maintained as a working farm.
