The Eisenhower Dispatch

About This Blog

Welcome to the Eisenhower Dispatch, the Blog of the Eisenhower National Historic Site! Posts on this blog are researched, developed, and written primarily by the staff at the Eisenhower National Historic Site as well as by park interns and guests. The purpose of this blog is to highlight stories of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, their families, and their era, and to tell stories pertaining to their home and farm near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We will also use this page to discuss interpretive and education program opportunities, provide resources for teachers and students, share stories about items in the park's museum collection, and highlight the work and service of our volunteer staff. The National Park Service is dedicated to protecting our natural and cultural resources and providing visitors with a full experience in appreciating our nation’s past, both on site and online. We hope you enjoy our blog.

A Family of Service

Robert and Dorothy McCormick both served in the United States Navy during WWII. Their family’s story reminds us of the many ways we can serve others and of the many ways in which history connects us all.
