Eisenhower Bank Barn Secret Service Office 3D Tour

• More Information on the Secret Service Office

Much as they have since the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. Secret Service agents accompanied President Eisenhower during and after his presidency. This cinder block structure on the north end of the Eisenhower bank barn was originally used as a milk house until the U.S. Secret Service adapted it to be an office.  

During Eisenhower’s presidency, he had a total of 40 agents on his protection detail. The agents worked in three different 8-hour shifts. When in Gettysburg, the off-duty agents stayed in a local motel. The agents on duty covered the entrances to the farm, the Secret Service office, and the entrances and exits to the home itself. Inside the office, agents had access to the most up to date technology, including cameras to keep an eye on the property. The office also was used to store the nuclear launch codes in a secure location.
