The National Park Service offers a free tour of the
Eisenhower National Historic Site to the public daily.
Tours originate from the NFS Tour Center, Get
tysburg. Shuttle buses leave for the farm every 15
minutes. Cost to ride the bus is 70 cents per person.
The tour office opens at 8 a.m. with the first tour at 9
a.m. The last tour of the day is at 4:30 p.m., with the
tour center and Eisenhower farm closing at 5 p.m. -
All visitors must obtain tour tickets on the day they
wish to tour the farm from the Tour Center. Specific
times cannot be requested.
Once at the farm, visitors can spend as much time as
they like. Buses back to the tour center make 31 trips
each day.
- the ..ing room, pictures of statesmen
and relatives cover the piano top. The National
Park Service has left the Eisenhower home, for the
most part, as it was at the time of Mamie’s death.

Ike’s farm manager was
retired General Arthur
Nevms.
Eventually, however, the
Eisenhower dairy operation
proved marginal and was
sold, according to the Park
Service technician. Instead
of the Holsteins, Ike and his
friend Alton Jones started up
in the business of raising
purebred Angus cattle.
Jones had purchased two
adjacent farms to the
Eisenhower property so the

remaining on the farm.
In the large bank barn on
the 189 acre Redding farm,
Ike kept his horses two
Arabians, two Quarter
Horses, and some ponies for
giving his grandchildren

National Park Service was

new color was chosen so that
it would “harmonize” with

Two years later, Ike died at
Walter Reed Hospital on
March 28, Mamie stayed on
the farm until her death on
November 1,1979.
Eisenhower’s dream and
dedication to his farm are
summed up in his own
words, “I shall leave this
place better than I found it.”
