Eisenhower National Historic Site preserves the farm of General and 34th President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Adjacent to the Gettysburg battlefield, the farm served the president and first lady as a weekend retreat and as a meeting place for world leaders.

Join Park Rangers to discuss President Eisenhower’s legacy and his vision for a “postwar” America. Learn about how the Blackstone River Valley served as a major industrial hub that aided the war effort during World War II, and the long-term repercussions of the military industrial complex.

This program is presented as a collaboration between Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, and Eisenhower National Historic Site.
