Serving the Nation

This graphic map depicts a world divided in two by the postwar rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. While Ike took steps to ease Cold War tensions— for example, hosting Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to his Gettysburg farm—the threat of nuclear war between the former allies was ever-present.

Long-awaited, urgently needed vials of the polio vaccine made their way to clinics after Ike signed the Polio Vaccination Assistance of 1955.

Polio was highly contagious; could lead to paralysis; and was then the leading cause of death for children. Thirty million children received vaccines within the first year, which cut cases by half.

In what came to be known as the “Little Rock Crisis,” soldiers of the 101 Airborne Division escort African American students into Central High School, Little Rock, Arkansas, on September 25, 1957.

The students had enrolled in the all-white school after the US Supreme Court ruled that segregated schools were unequal. In response, the Arkansas governor ordered the National Guard to keep them out. Ike sent in the 101st Airborne Division to enforce the law and protect the students.

In 1956, Ike signed into law funding for the US Interstate Highway System—ribbons of high-quality roads spanning the nation.

Skyrocketing car ownership demanded it; so did fears of a Soviet attack and the need to move military vehicles quickly across the continent. Ike’s inspiration? The poor roads he’d seen in 1919, when he joined a cross-country Army convoy testing vehicles and routes.

Black and white children together at the White House Easter Egg Roll, 1953. While her husband fought against racial segregation from his office inside the White House, Mamie fought it on the White House lawn.

On January 20, 1953, Ike stood before crowds gathered at the US Capitol. He placed his hand on the Bible, pledged to serve his country and the Constitution— and became the 34th President of the United States.

Just three years earlier, he and Mamie had bought their Gettysburg home thinking they’d soon retire there. Now, all that had changed.

Ike’s leadership as a two-term president came during a time of relative prosperity for many Americans. And yet there were huge challenges to overcome: segregation;

Cold War tensions; a polio pandemic; and more. From 1953 to 1961, Ike would guide the United States through profound and lasting changes.

While Mamie embraced her role as a traditional 1950s wife—Ike, she said, was her career—she was a force in her own right. On the campaign trail, her popularity drew votes. In the White House, her well-honed hosting skills brought a new warmth to social events.

And while she was nonpolitical, the First Lady created small, symbolic moments that spoke volumes. In 1954, for example, she revived the White House Easter egg roll and invited African American children—for the first time since it began in 1878.

“My first day at the President’s Desk. Plenty of worries and difficult problems. But such has been my portion for a long time—the result is that this just seems (today) like a continuation of all I’ve been doing since July ’41—even before that!” —President Eisenhower’s diary entry, January 21, 1953

At Home with Dwight & Mamie Eisenhower

Bought by the Eisenhowers in 1950 as a getaway and future retirement home, the farm was a calm oasis in their hectic public lives. After Ike became President in 1953, it was also a tool for peace.

Here, Ike invited world figures to walk and talk with him in the shadow of Civil War battlefields— stark reminders of war’s bloody cost.

For Ike, Gettysburg held deep personal meaning. As a West Point cadet, he studied military strategy here; his first command was at nearby Camp Colt. For both Ike and Mamie, who had led a nomadic Army life, the farm was a dream come true: a home of their own, for the very first time.

Welcome to

With Ike in the Army, the Eisenhowers moved 37 times in their first 38 years of marriage. One year, they moved five times. When they made the farm their weekend getaway in 1955—after five years of renovations—they were, finally, home.

Here, in sight of the battlefield that marked a bloody turning point in the Civil War, President Eisenhower brought world leaders to exchange views, eye to eye, away from Washington’s glare. Mamie, by now adept at creating a cozy home, turned the former farmhouse into a showcase for welcoming friends, family, and visiting dignitaries.

The Eisenhowers in front of their home on their 39th wedding anniversary:

July 1, 1955. Ike is leaning on his Crosley Super [sedan].

“We lived in the White House longer than any place we'd ever lived, except this place . . . this was home. . . .”—Mamie Eisenhower

With Ike in the Army, the Eisenhowers moved 37 times in their first 38 years of marriage. One year, they moved five times. When they made the farm their weekend getaway in 1955—after five years of renovations—they were, finally, home.

Here, in sight of the battlefield that marked a bloody turning point in the Civil War, President Eisenhower brought world leaders to exchange views, eye to eye, away from Washington’s glare. Mamie, by now adept at creating a cozy home, turned the former farmhouse into a showcase for welcoming friends, family, and visiting dignitaries.

Welcome to

Brief text reflects that this was the only home the Eisenhowers owned; that this place is the one that felt like home to the Eisenhowers, who had lived in dozens of places around the world but had none that were “theirs” to come home to; that they lived out their retirement here; and reflects the statement from the LIRP that describes the deep connection that Eisenhower, as a career soldier, had to Gettysburg, and about his first coming “to the battlefield as an army cadet to study tactics and leadership, then returning as the commanding officer of Camp Colt.

Later in life he retired to this pastoral setting as an older soldier with a profound understanding of the cost and sacrifices of war.”

Describes photograph and why it was taken (they posed on their 39th wedding anniversary, July 1, 1955, at the farm).

“We lived in the White House longer than any place we'd ever lived, except this place . . . this was home. . . .”—Mamie Eisenhower

The Life of the Farm

Raising Better Cattle

Dwight Eisenhower at the farm, October 5, 1961.

When Ike and his partners decided to raise and show Angus Aberdeen cattle, they built the “show barn” just south of the main house. Ike enjoyed showing off his herd— and their accolades. His efforts to breed high-quality, purebred animals paid off on the show circuit with awards like these.

Ike was a Kansas farm boy at heart, and the sounds, smells, and rhythms of the Gettysburg farm spoke to him. Its owner had raised cows and chickens. When Ike bought the spread in 1950, he did too, until he decided to raise prize cattle and the crops to feed them.

Having witnessed farmers’ struggles in Kansas, Ike was also keen to find ways to improve the land. Working with business partners and hired help, he made the 189-acre farm a model for mid-1900s agricultural practices and sustainability.

“I know that when I find myself contemplating a post-war existence I always picture a little place far away from cities . . .”–Ike writing to Mamie, December 2, 1943

Curator’s Corner

Meet John and Delores Moaney:

Beloved & Irreplaceable

It takes a village to support a world leader. Two people played crucial roles in Ike’s life: John (1914-78) and Delores (1916-2014) Moaney.

In 1942, Maryland-born John Moaney was a Corporal with the 751st Quartermaster Company when he was chosen to be General Eisenhower’s valet. His orders were clear: no salut-ing, no standing at attention. Just make Ike feel at home.

John Moaney and Ike built a bond that took them from the World War II front to the Gettysburg farm. Shortly after John married Delores Butler in 1946, she also began working for the Eisenhowers, as a maid and cook. After Ike died, she helped take care of Mamie.

“Of Sergeant John Moaney, I have only this to say: He and I have been inseparable for almost a quarter of a century;

in my daily life, he is just about the irreplaceable man.”—Dwight D. Eisenhower, At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends, 1967

At Home While at the farm, Ike and John Moaney might be found outside grilling steaks for guests—as in this 1960 photo. Delores Moaney’s cooking took place inside, in the house’s roomy kitchen (where Ike, who liked to cook, occasionally made a meal). The pots du crème au chocolat recipe is one [she made for the Eisenhowers]

When the Eisenhowers were at the farm, so were the Moaneys, who had their own room in the house. Practically family, they were close to the Eisenhower grandchildren, who often visited. John had an especially strong bond with David; here he helps him bait his fishing line. (The pond, once located near the house and Bank Barn, no longer exists.)

“[Delores Moaney] remained an integral part of our family until the end of her life, forging all the while a continuing friendship between her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and ours.”

—Susan Eisenhower, writing about Mrs. Moaney after her death in [DATE]

John Moaney (fourth from right) with Ike’s personal staff, 1944. The photograph reflects the racism that Moaney and other Black men faced. While all are soldiers, the African Americans wear white jackets— reflecting their roles as domestics, one of the limited positions they could hold in a segregated military.

Mamie and Delores Moaney, around 1977. After Ike died in 1969, the Moaneys remained with Mamie, splitting their time between the farm and their home in Washington, DC. Around the time this photo was taken, they retired.
