Description

The Eisenhower farm was once the first and only home that Dwight Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, referred to as their very own. All through Eisenhower’s military career, he and Mamie lived all over the world, but he all the time was hoping to own a piece of property and leave it better than he found it. That wish led to the purchase of the Allen Redding farm in 1950 and the Eisenhowers’ thorough renovation of its dwelling. All through Eisenhower’s presidency, the farm served as a retreat from the Washington pressure cooker. When his presidential term ended, the Eisenhowers embraced a new chapter of their lives together. Eisenhower maintained an active schedule of writing, speechmaking, correspondence, and meetings with a variety of national and world leaders, in addition to supervision of an active farm operation. Mamie and Dwight shared a busy social life in retirement, taking special pleasure in spending time with their son John, daughter-in-law Barbara, and four grandchildren. This book tells the Eisenhowers’ Gettysburg story.
