It is good to know that a young boy from a poor family can apply the principles and ethics he learned at home to become a world renowned hero! Abilene is full of history, but can be proud of the man who served our country as president!

Well presented, thought provoking, poignant. It is worth coming back to see every few years to explore this important historical figure.

Good museum, good sense of where Ike came from. Also, excellent research facilities. Well worth getting off the beaten path.
This was a great place to visit. Make sure you have plenty of time. We got there with just a 1 1/2 left and would have like to have had more time. Go and watch the video before hand. It was great to have the basics before going to the different buildings. Take the time to ask the tour guides...

I have been to all but a handful of Presidential Sites, and this one is the best. It is out of the way, but, if you are in KC, it is worth the trip.
