Eisenhower National Historic Park

"Fun with the Family"

Adjacent to the Gettysburg battlefield is the Eisenhower National Historic Site, the 189-acre retirement home and farm of President and Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower. If you wish to tour the home, pick up tickets at the Gettysburg National Park Visitor Center, and then take a shuttle bus to the Eisenhower farm.
To liven up the visit for children ages five to thirteen, there’s a Junior Secret ServiceAgent program. Pick up a free booklet at the information desk. Kids get a chance to use a park radio, look through binoculars, learn how the president is protected, and earn a Junior Secret Service Agent badge at the end.
Pace yourself, because you’ve only just begun. You may wish to take a walking tour of downtown Gettysburg to get yourself oriented before visiting some of the many sites in town. The town’s official information center is located at 35 Carlisle Street, across from Lincoln Square in the center of town.
