A new cell phone tour available at Eisenhower National Historic Site provides visitors a closer look at the Eisenhowers' life and times in Gettysburg. By dialing 717-253-9256, visitors hear stories about the Eisenhowers, their family, and features around their home and farm: the orchard, the putting green, the show barn, the rose gardens, the dog pens... While touring the site, or even as a prelude to a visit while in the comfort of their own home, visitors may access any of the Eisenhower stories by inputting the number of each stop in any sequence. The tour is free, but cell phone minutes apply. 717-253-9256 is a local Gettysburg number.
The cell phone tour is made possible by a grant from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Society.

Did You Know?
President Eisenhower enjoyed oil painting and encouraged the artistically challenged to give paint-by-numbers a try. He presented his staff with paint-by-number sets and invited them to display their masterpieces in the White House. Even J. Edgar Hoover contributed a painting to the “gallery.”
