Eisenhower Farm

Today we drove 45 minutes south to Gettysburg to visit the Eisenhower farm.

The house was decorated for the holidays.


While President, the Eisenhowers spent Christmas Eve here but went back to the White House for Christmas. Dwight and Mamie wanted the secret service to be closer to their families on the holidays.

Mamie's favorite color was pink. Even the sink was pink.

Dwight had a personal flag. His flag was red with five stars because he was a five star general. Here the flag flies over his putting green. Winston Churchill, Charles De Gaulle, and Nikita Khrushchev all visited this farm.
