Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and Boyhood Home
National Archives Presidential Library · Abilene, Kansas
A twenty-two acre campus in Abilene holding four things: the small frame house Dwight Eisenhower grew up in with five brothers, still on its original site; the museum, which covers the war and the presidency; the presidential library, which is a working archive; and the Place of Meditation, the chapel where he, Mamie and their firstborn son are buried. He is the only twentieth-century American who was both Supreme Allied Commander in Europe and a two-term president, and the campus covers the whole arc from a Kansas boyhood in near-poverty to the Farewell Address.
