A new look at Abilene’s Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum
For this month’s Hidden Kansas, Beccy Tanner explores new exhibits that provide a different perspective on the Eisenhowers.
ABILENE — For decades, a trip to Abilene offered visitors a chance to see Dwight Eisenhower rose through the military ranks to become one of the nation’s top generals and later, the nation’s 34th president.
But now, after undergoing the first major renovation of its permanent galleries and exhibits since 1971, the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene has a new look and feel. Decades after the Eisenhower administration, “I like Ike” is taking on new meaning.
