Inside, you'll see furniture and decor that was present when the Eisenhowers still lived here, as well as artifacts that honor the president's legacy.

  • We only toured the grounds as the home was closed. But it was very nice and well worth the short drive if you’re in Gettysburg.

  • We came in January and the visitor center was closed. It was really deserted but the day was cold so that was probably why. Beautiful drive up to the farm though

  • One of my favorite places to visit when we come to Gettysburg. We have been here several times and it is always an enjoyable experience. It seems you get different stories depending on your guide, but they are always knowledgeable and ready to answer questions. We visited during the holidays this time and it did not disappoint.
  • Beautiful beautiful beautiful. We were too late for an inside tour of the home but we got a great view of the exterior and it just is so well kept and you just feel the history on the ground. You can walk in the steps of world leaders that came to visit Ike and Mamie's home. Really can't say enough good things about this place!
