Calling All Junior Rangers! Calling All Junior Rangers!

Do you want to learn about history and have fun while you do it? If so, be sure to check out our Junior Ranger program! Our Junior Ranger book is available on site for those ages 6-12 who are interested. Here is how you can pick up a copy!

Our activity book lets you explore the lives of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, complete fun activities like designing your own 5-star flag, compare rooms in the Eisenhower’s home to rooms in your own home, and learn about famous and historic events like D-Day!

On Days the Eisenhower Home is Open for Tours
See our Tour Schedule here


Visitors should come to the Eisenhower NHS contact station in front of the Eisenhower home (look for the Green NPS tent) and pick up a Jr Ranger book from a ranger or volunteer.

On days the Eisenhower home is not open for tours
See our Tour Schedule here


Visitors should come to the Eisenhower NHS Park Headquarters (250 Eisenhower Farm Rd.). Please ring the doorbell and if staff members are available they will assist you in providing a Jr Ranger booklet.

How to Request a Booklet Online


If you would like a booklet in advance to help prepare for your visit, or would like to work on one at home, please email us e-mail us to request one. While our book is designed to be done on-site, our virtual house tour and other web resources can help you complete some of the activities from the comfort of your own home!
