Plan Your Visit
Ranger conducting farm tour

Eisenhower National Historic Site comprises 690 acres and includes four farms, three of which were used by President Eisenhower for his show herd of black Angus cattle. Today the farm is maintained as it was during the Eisenhower years and the President's home retains nearly all its original furnishings.  You are invited to tour the home and grounds, and take a walk to the cattle barns and skeet range.

To visit Eisenhower National Historic Site, purchase your tickets at the National Park Service Visitor Center. Entrance to the site is by shuttle bus which departs from the Visitor Center throughout the day, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. Plan 11/2 - 2 hours for your visit.
