Photographer: Michael Amador

Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site

Eisenhower Birthplace showcases the white frame house where the 34th U.S. president and WWII commander, Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower, was born in 1890. Antiques fill the modest home, illustrating the family's working-class life. The visitor center celebrates Ike with memorabilia and exhibits, and outside, a larger-than-life statue of Eisenhower and picnic tables invite visitors to make themselves at home. Texas Historical Commission property. Open 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Tue.–Sat. and 1–5 p.m. Sun. Admission charge. 609 S. Lamar Ave. 903/465-8908. www.visiteisenhowerbirthplace.com.
