Grange Building, Centre Hall, PA

eisenhower.nps is located in Cumberland Township, #Pennsylvania, adjacent to the Gettysburg Battlefield. This site preserves the home and farm of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, and its surrounding property of 690 acres. The property was purchased by then-General Eisenhower and his wife Mamie in 1950. The farm served as a weekend retreat for the President and a meeting place for world leaders, and became the Eisenhowers' home after they left the White House in 1961. The property has a putting green, skeet range, and view of South Mountain and the Gettysburg Battlefield. It was also a successful cattle operation, with a show herd of black Angus cattle. Some of the more notable of Eisenhower's guests were Premier Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union, President Charles de Gaulle of France, and former Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Britain. The Eisenhowers donated their home and farm to the @NationalParkService in 1967, with lifetime living rights for the former president. Two years later, Eisenhower died at the age of 78. Mamie Eisenhower rejected the idea of moving to Washington to be closer to family and friends and, with Federal permission, lived on the farm until her death in 1979. The National Park Service opened the site in 1980. #pa #pahistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #nps104 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #explorepa #FindYourPark #architecture #eisenhower #eisenhowernhs #smallparksaturday #cumberlandtownshippa #gettysburgpa (at Eisenhower National Historic Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSqDMkDj2It/?utm_medium=tumblr
