Eisenhower National Historic Site
The house served as a Presidential Retreat during the Eisenhower administration
and was also home to the Eisenhowers after they left the White House in 1961.
The Eisenhowers ran the estate as a working cattle farm. It had a show herd of
black Angus cattle.
Some of the more famous guests at the house included Nikita Khrushchev, Charles
de Gaulle, Winston Churchill, and Ronald Reagan.
Representing the states, 50 Norway Spruce trees line the main driveway. Most
were given to Eisenhower as birthday presents from the Republican Party chairman
of each state in 1955.
