Join a NPS ranger to explore the Eisenhower site virtually! This program includes a virtual tour of the Eisenhower home, as well as a discussion about who Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower were.

In 1950, Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower bought the only home they would ever own, right here in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. When Dwight Eisenhower was elected president, their Gettysburg farm became a weekend getaway for he and the First Lady. The Eisenhowers also brought numerous world leaders to their home as well!

A NPS ranger will utilize photographs of the Eisenhower site and artifacts we have on display to virtually bring you and your students onto the very same grounds where President Eisenhower once walked with world leaders!
