While you are taking a tour of the house itself, you will be able to view all sorts of beautiful furnishings, photographs and more which all belonged to the Eisenhower family.

The cost of admission is only $5.50 for adults, $4 for children ages 13 through 16 and $3 for children ages 6 through 12, with children under the age of 6 getting in for free.
