Eisenhower Foundation

To champion the life and enduring legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower to inspire leadership, character, and service. Established 1945

The Eisenhower Foundation was formed in 1945 after the Allied victory of World War II to create a memorial to General Eisenhower. The Boyhood Home was opened in 1947 and the Museum in 1954 by the Foundation. Public and private entities raised $3.5 million to build the Library which opened in 1962. Today, five buildings on 22 acres comprise the Eisenhower Presidential Center - the Library, Museum, Boyhood Home, Visitors Center and Place of Meditation.

Vernon Noel was born on a farm 7 miles north of Abilene, Kansas — where General Dwight D. Eisenhower was from. Vernon went on to enlist in the Army Air Corps, and he entered the service in March of 1943. He trained at the St. Louis School of Aeronautics in the Airplane Engine and Maintainer program. Soon after, he served overseas; Noel took his aeronautical expertise to Europe, where he served as an airplane inspector during the war.

William “Bill” Fry dreamed of becoming a pilot and joined the Army Air Corps in 1942, eventually flying B-17 bombers from England and completing 24 missions. On his final mission over Berlin in February 1945, enemy artillery disabled three engines, forcing Fry to make a daring flight to Sweden, where he skillfully landed the crippled bomber on a too-short airstrip and saved his entire crew before they were taken prisoner and interned for several weeks. After returning home to Kansas and receiving an honorable discharge, Fry remained a lifelong pilot and dedicated his life to teaching others to fly.
