  • Snapshots of the future soldier at play and at ease from his childhood through young adulthood.

  • Notes jotted by the two-term president for his address to the nation as he ordered federal troops to Little Rock in 1957.

And there’s much more: original photos and correspondence and Eisenhower artifacts that bring to life the story of one of America’s great leaders.
