Sitting Room

Eisenhower National Historic Site

Description

This served as a television room for the grandchildren. Mamie used it as a sitting room after Ike passed away. The books here are part of the General’s personal library found throughout the house. The three volumes with the frayed brown covers on the bottom shelf are his yearbooks from West Point, The Howitzer. Ike finished painting the snow covered landscape, Winter, St. Louis Creek, while recovering from his 1955 heart attack.
