The tour was worth what you pay for it. There was a nice bus ride from the visitor's center to the farm and a Park Ranger gives an introduction to the farm before you go into the house for the tour. The house looks just as it did when President Eisenhower & his wife lived there. It's more of a museum, because you only actually walk through one room that is roped off and the other rooms you see from behind plexiglass by walking through the hallways. You can use a video camera inside the house, but not flash photography, and the shades are drawn in every room to keep light out and preserve the furnishings. After the home tour, you can walk to different places on the farm and there is a small gift shop on site.

“A Gettysburg Must”

Any visit to Gettysburg must include a visit to the Eisenhower Farm. It gives you an understanding Ike and Mamie and as you walk around this beautiful place it is easy to understand why they retired here. There is no public access to the farm, purchase your ticket at the Gettyburg Battlefield Visitors centers and then take the short shuttle bus ride from the visitors center to the farm. Once at the farm you can stay for as long as you like , catching any of the returning shuttle buses back to the visitor center. Buses depart from the Farm about every 15-30 minutes. Great place

My husband and I have been visiting Gettysburg regularly since our honeymoon in 1990, but this past weekend we finally took our first trip to the Eisenhower Farm. It was wonderful!!!

You purchase your tickets at the visitor center in town ($7.00 for each adult) and then ride the shuttle bus to the farm. A tour guide is waiting for you when you get there. The guide walks you to different areas around the property, pointing out interesting facts. The guide takes you into the house, through the front door, and gives each person a brochure. There's a short presentation in the formal living room, and then you're free to walk through the house using the brochure on a self-guided tour.

There is a small museum on the property with many interesting displays.

I would recommend the tour! It was absolutely wonderful!!!!!

Very beautiful place. I can understand why Ike loved being here. You must park at the Gettysburg Military Park and purchase your ticket. They then shuttle you to the farm to avoid having to build a parking lot. This keeps it peaceful. There isn't a Junior Ranger program for kids but you get to be a Junior Secret Service person. Must see if you are in Gettysburg.
