Ike, Gettysburg, and the Cold War

Eisenhower National Historic Site is the home and farm of General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Located adjacent to the Gettysburg Battlefield, the farm served the President as a weekend retreat and a meeting place for world leaders. With its peaceful setting and view of South Mountain, it was a much needed respite from Washington and a backdrop for efforts to reduce Cold War tensions.

Eisenhower used the quiet setting of the farm to host world leaders and with this rural and relaxed setting he was able shape decisions that would affect generations to come with the leaders that visited here. We had a great tour guide and had an enjoyable visit.
