Summer Tourism Booming in Abilene
Abilene has been a popular place to visit this summer. According to the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau, Abilene tourism partners experience increased visitation in the Best Small Town to Visit.
The Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, Abilene’s largest tourism attraction, reports an attendance of nearly 75,000 people in 2023, with a quarter of the year remaining. Visitation reflects that the Museum is still closed on Mondays and the annual Symphony at Sunset Annual D-Day Commemoration Concert was canceled due to excessive rain. In comparison, the Museum reported a yearly visitation of less than 45,000 in 2022.
