We visited the Eisenhower Center which tells the story of our 34th president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, who governed from 1953-1961. These years were during the first phase of the Cold War and the space race.
Ike’s boyhood home is decorated just as it was in 1946
Below are several pictures that were taken in the museum.
There was a military gallery with documents, photos and objects in this exhibit interpreting the role of Eisenhower as Supreme Commander and of the men and women who served during World War II.
The grounds are beautifully kept.
The Place of Meditation is the final resting place of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mamie Eisenhower and their first-born son, Doud Dwight Eisenhower who died at age four.
After spending 2 1/2 hours at the Eisenhower Center we went to the Russell Stover candy factory. They do not offer tours so we had to be content sampling several of their wares.
