A new audio 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 on their cell phone or accessing it via the mobile web, visitors hear stories about the Eisenhowers, their family, and features around their home and farm. The 17 stops include 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. The cell phone tour is made possible by a grant from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Society. AUDIO TOUR STOPS: 2. GUEST HOUSE 3. EISENHOWER HOME 4.
