Now-October 22

This exhibit features Dwight D. Eisenhower's own painting, Normandy Scene.

Experience a variety of art and images displaying Dwight D. Eisenhower as a member of our community and as an artist.

Through pieces that showcase the farm he shared with his wife, Mamie, his office at Gettysburg College, his time in the Majestic Theater, and beyond, this exhibit displays how embedded Ike was in our community. Between chance meetings at the local grocery store and addressing world leaders in what is now our cinemas, Ike's humanity shines through our collection of historical documents, photographs, and paintings, including his very own work, Normandy Scene, which he painted while in command of NATO in 1951.

This exhibit is made possible thanks in part to The Dwight D. Eisenhower Society, the U.S. National Parks Service, Ruthmary McIlhenny, and Gettysburg College's Special Collections and College Archive.
