Dwight D. Eisenhower Library and Museum, Abilene

Very nice museum worth a visit. It does a good job outlining the life of Eisenhower without getting too bogged down in minutia. The website says to plan on 3 hours, but I saw the museum in about 1 (and no, I didn't hurry). There are quite a few pieces including the actual table where the D-Day invasion was planned. Lovely grounds that are also close to the other museums, so one could park here and visit most of the other museums in town with a very short walk. My main beef is that the boyhood home was closed, the gift shop was closed and the library was closed and yet they charge the full $15. In my opinion, if they are going to close half of the facility then they should charge half of that price.

Wonderful museum for an extraordinary patriot 🇺🇸 Learned so much about President Eisenhower. Left truly inspired. Loved the grounds. Loved that they’ve kept up the library , museum & meditation building so well, but have left it very much of its original design. The older architecture adds to the charm. Have always regarded the Eisenhower couple with great esteem, but the visit to the museum gave even more insight to their life & presidency.
