Waves, smiles, and convention style! 👋✨
Flashback to August 23, 1956: The Cow Palace in San Francisco was buzzing as Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower greeted the crowd at the Republican Convention. We love seeing Mamie’s classic, poised energy—she always knew how to command a room with a smile!

What makes a presidential legacy? In 1966, Dwight D. Eisenhower sat down and listed his administration’s accomplishments from memory. Alaska and Hawaii statehood were right at the top. 🖋️

On this anniversary of Hawaii statehood, come explore the specific milestones Eisenhower was most proud of. Our new "Ike’s Work" exhibit dives deep into that very list, revealing the stories behind the decisions that shaped modern America.

See the history for yourself at the Eisenhower Presidential Library.

Let's celebrate the great invention of the radio on National Radio Day!

Did you know that the Eisenhower brothers gifted their mother, Ida, a Spartan Shortwave radio for Christmas in 1941 (85 years ago!). The radio still sits on the walnut table in the Boyhood home. Mrs. Eisenhower used this radio to listen for news concerning her famous son overseas.

Did you know Eisenhower was the first U.S. President to hold a pilot’s license? ✈️

While stationed in the Philippines from 1935–1939 as an assistant military advisor, Ike wasn't just “gaining a global view”—he was earning an aerial one, too. On this National Aviation Day, we’re looking back to 1939 and his official private pilot's license. From the ground to the sky, Ike’s legacy really took flight! ☁️

Today, we honor the incredible history and sacrifice of our nation’s airborne divisions—the 82nd and 101st Airborne.

The 101st Airborne, in particular, made history by being the first entire division to receive the Presidential Unit Citation for their heroic stand at the "Bastion of Bastogne" in March 1945.

As we commemorate this day, we reflect on the moments that defined their service. From the intense days leading up to the Normandy invasion in 1944, where General Eisenhower met with paratroopers to deliver the order of the day, to his 1947 visit to the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, we are reminded of the deep connection between leadership and the troops who carry out these pivotal missions.

Join us in saluting these elite units for their service, past and present.
