My wife and two friends toured the Eisenhower Farm. It was decorated for Christmas. It took me back to the days when I was a young lad. To think we were standing where. Very well cared for More

We hadn't planned to visit this lovely farm, but I picked up a brochure in town and then realized how interesting this would be to someone who grew up during the 50s and 60s. The National Park Service Guides are awesome. I was fascinated by the presentation and was surprised at how many memories the site and oral presentation brought... More

This house and farm look as though the Eisenhowers stepped out to dinner and let you drop by and snoop. Lots of good stories. The tour is mostly on your own but alot of nice information in the brochure. This leaves from the visitor center so pick up your tickets there. We didn't and had to make a trip back... More

Any history buff would enjoy getting to see a look into the life of President Eisenhower's Home!! It was left as it was when the Eisenhower's resided there.....definitely worth the trip! More

We did this on our January trip and found it really enjoyable. The tour was nice and it was neat to see how the Eisenhower's lived. The grounds were beautiful. More

When you get tired of Civil War/Lincoln-themed attractions, visit Ike's home. I loved it. Was thankful we could tour the second floor of the home on our own. Well done. Wish we could arrive on bicycle, though. More

Visited with spouse last week. What I don't like is the first time I visited (20 years ago) you could drive up to it. Now they make you pay a $7.50 "transportation" fee that is not covered by your US Federal Lands Pass (they tell you the Eisenhower NHS is free but you can't get there on your own). To... More
