  • Lovely home, out buildings, vehicles, history, memorabilia and tour! So glad I decided to stop. They also have a quite large collection of books of all things Eisenhower they welcome you to use for research on property. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

  • Had a great time learning while we visited. Lots of family pictures and items that help understand how the lived and who they were. This is a nice break from a busy weekend. Nice garage with cars from the family. Even had some fishing boots that Dwight D Eisenhower wore while fishing in the rivers nearby. A special place that is worth the visit.

  • Tour was informative!

  • I didn't think I would like this place since it seemed like it would be boring. I ended up being wrong as the tour was informative, and I learned a lot about Boone connections to the Eisenhower family that I didn't realize. Gardens are nice: photo worthy.

  • This is a worthwhile stop to learn about one of our country's First Ladies. Janet was an amazing docent and gave a tour worth more than admission. If you haven't been, go!

  • Gayle and I stopped by last month and took the guided tour. It was $5 each and the local docent did a very good job showing us around and explaining the various historical aspects of this property, and of course Mamie and Dwight.
