Eisenhower Presidential Library

A noteworthy and historically significant attraction may be found in the little city of Abilene in central Kansas. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Museum and Eisenhower's childhood house are both close to the Eisenhower Presidential Library, which is situated in Abilene.

A premier research institution, the Eisenhower Presidential Library is home to millions of books, images, and artifacts. Eisenhower's biography, his administration, and Kansas history are all major themes of the frequently-changing exhibits. Free entry is offered to the Visitor Center, Place of Meditation (gravesite), and Archives. Adult entrance to the museum, which includes a tour of the Boyhood Home, costs $20.

Except for New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, the complex is open every day. The Kansas Legislature stepped in to fill the gap left by the foundation's fundraising restrictions in 1954 by establishing a separate "Eisenhower Presidential Library Commission," and over the next five years enough money was secured to start building. On October 13, 1959, President Eisenhower once more was present as the ground was broken.
