Eisenhower Museum Update

Construction is underway at the Eisenhower Presidential Museum, so this building is currently closed to the public. To finish this project strong, we need your help to raise the remaining funds for the Dwight D. Eisenhower: A Legacy of Leadership Campaign. Thanks to a generous Kansas donor, any gift received before Ike's 128th birthday – October 14th – will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $40,000!
