Description:
Located in the heart of Denison, Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site showcases the home where the 34th U.S. President Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower was born in 1890. Antique furnishings fill the modest frame house, illustrating the working class life of the Eisenhowers. The visitors center celebrates Ike with memorabilia and exhibits featuring his many accomplishments as president and war hero. Eisenhower Birthplace, a Texas Historical Commission property, features the modest, two-story frame house at the corner of Lamar Avenue and Day Street in the railroad town of Denison, where Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was born in 1890. Eisenhower's father worked for the railroad and the house contains period antiques indicative of the lifestyle of a late-19th-century working family. The site includes six acres of scenic woods and creek bottomland, intersected by an abandoned rail track turned into a walking path. The visitors center is a historic structure filled with scores of items relating to Eisenhower and his role in American and world history. A pavilion for picnicking is also on site as well as the Red Store, an educational center.
