President Eisenhower’s Farm

Gettysburg PA – August 2021

President Dwight Eisenhower and First Lady Mamie Eisenhower lived on this farm in Gettysburg PA. He was our 34th president, serving 1953-1961. He was president when I was born. My mother watched his inauguration and parade in Washington DC.
This was the landing pad for the presidential helicopter whenever Eisenhower would fly home from Washington.

The barn.
Ike loved golf, so he had this putting green installed behind the house and barn.
The red flag has 5 stars. Only 5-star generals were allowed to fly this flag.
