The blue ceiling was painted that way to keep bugs off the ceiling.It's confuse the insects that they think it's the sky.

[@tp5776]

The blue porch ceilings are to ward off wasp, birds, nesting. Sky blue!

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Very cool video. My uncle was a park ranger at that home for over 30 years and gave those tours back in the day. I want to visit it one day. This was a special treat. Thank you.👍❤️

[@lindadanis9568]

Great vlog Jordan! He was a great President and man. So wish there were leaders like this now.

[@meisenhower2254]

Thank you for your kind words 🙂

[@esthergarcia1373]

President Eisenhower answered a personal letter of a friend of mine who wrote to him as a class assignment in the 1960’s she had done for her English class. The letterhead was from the Whitehouse with the presidential seal. He thanked her for her thoughtfulness towards his wellbeing and wished her much success in her endeavors with life. We were driving around in her mother’s classic silver mustang that day before we had lunch at her house. She was so proud of that letter. I hope she kept it in a safe place. We lost touch of each other but at least I have that childhood memory of President Eisenhower’s kindness toward my friend. ❤️ Thanks for the wonderful tour, Jordan. ❤️🙏🏻

[@suzannazientek8610]

I hope to visit this one day. To see where he grew up. Eisenhower is my 4th great uncle.

[@thor8580]

If the world would return to the simple rules of this family and follow Gods examples there would be a lot more peace in the world..Thanks Jordan...Blessings.

[@saramcallaster81]

WELCOME JORDAN!!... ITS GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN MY HOME STATE!!!🤗🤗🤗. .. It would have been WONDERFUL to have had you do a vlog on Vivian Vance!! I dont think many people realize she is from Kansas. .

[@johanfretzen1852]

Start the week off right tommorow lionhearts 🦁!

[@johngetman1816]

You teach me something everyday Mr.Jordan.The interstate system here in the USA was built after President Eisenhower saw the highway system in Germany.Notice how our great interstate highways have roads perfectly able to handle military equipment.I hope you have a wonderful sunday in the great state of Kansas.

[@dollywilson3395]

He WAS a great president, and it's fitting that he was buried with such a beautiful memorial chapel and resting place. Thanks for this vlog, Jordan.

[@tazdev87301]

I used to visit when I used to travel around Kansas for business and they never charged additionally for tours of the house before.

[@denystull355]

A little history of Abilene, Ks. It was the first "cow town" of Kansas. When the railroads pushed further south and west into Kansas the "cow towns" moved with them, two others of note were Wichita and Dodge City.

[@pamela930]

Thanks for showing this beautiful place. We Kansans are very proud of IKE. He was President when I was born in south central Kansas. I've been to Abilene and all of the Eisenhower buildings since I was a kid in the 60s. When my Girl Scout troop toured the home in 65 or so, you could go upstairs at the home. It was just as lovely as downstairs. Nothing was roped off downstairs, either. The museum, next to the house, is one of my favorite buildings. You will be amazed at the collection of military memorabilia and Presidential memorabilia from his time in office. And, we just renamed the airport in Wichita that you flew in to after Ike. You've had quite the journey in Kansas. I am beating the Kansas summer heat by visiting my brother in Colorado Springs. Stay cool! I enjoy your channel very much.

[@gavanhillebold3131]

Very interesting JTL and historic. Abilene was the first cow town of the West, where the Chisholm Trail ended. Lots of beef shipped out of there by railroad, Cowboys in the thousands herded cattle to Abilene, cool stuff in what once was a wild & rough town

[@mamiebobb4173]

I was not surprised at all to see the house he grew up in was almost identical to my grandparents house (the house my dad grew up in). Even some of the furniture, wall paper, and curtains looked the same! As I was watching, I could almost smell the air in those rooms. (Of course I was remembering grandma's house!). This country and all of the allied countries were blessed that we had a Dwight Eisenhower to fall back on when we needed him the most. We can only hope that this is never forgotten. Dwight Eisenhower was a truly modest and humble man who (when asked) said that he never wanted any memorials dedicated to him - but only to the men and women he was privileged to have led during the war. Of course the politicians couldn't allow that to happen and the new Dwight David Eisenhower memorial is scheduled for opening in the spring of 2020. It will be located just off the mall, and across from the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. Maybe it will service the good by never letting the people forget him.

[@ladnarfilms5201]

I've been to his birthplace in Denison, TX and his retirement home in Gettysburg, PA. Awesome video Jordan, thank you!

[@denisegraves7953]

Great vlog, Jordan. It's amazing to see his boyhood home. Look at what he accomplished in his life. Looking forward to part 2. Take care,Jordan.

[@1189paris]

Presidential Libraries, homes and graves aren't political. I'm glad that you are open to visiting these sites and sharing it on your Vlogs.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, once again, what a lovely little house, I liked the family photo of them all on the porch. I think the smaller the house, the more homely it is, and this house looks so cosy. How great that all the furniture and items inside were original aswell. Like the old saying "Be It Ever So Humble, There's No Place Like Home!!", and how true is that. Great Vlog Jordan.

[@unionrdr]

The room you said they hardly ever used was known as the parlor in the old days. My grandmother had one as well. Only for when company called, holidays or other special occasions. Including if a family member died, they would be on display in the parlor for visitors to pay their final respects. You didn't have funeral homes in those days.

[@deniseconaway701]

Sounds to me like President Eisenhower was brought up well, somebody probably wherever or whatever he did in life, would of done it with a good heart, sounds like a good man, absolubtly loved listening and learning Thankyou Jordan xxx

[@leggettnada1]

My daughter's first air craft carrier that she served on was the USS Dwight D, Eisenhower. I was lucky to go on the ship for a Tiger Cruise for an over nighter. There were other families as well. They still do that today. She served 20 years. I really enjoyed this vlog and going to add it to my favorite's. I'm also going to share it to my daughter.Thank you for this vlog,it brought back many memories. Ship Ahoy Jordan your amazing on your finds.

[@dazzlingchick]

💋I look forward to your vlogs everyday Jordan. I have followed your channel for years now and could never get tired. Thanks for putting your heart into this form of art. ~Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love and Light 💖Carli

[@celestine811]

The place it's self is very well kept , Lovely vlog thank you Jordan .

[@Tyblorg]

Seriously people. If your kid is being disruptive at an inappropriate time TAKE THE KID OUTSIDE!!!

[@RunningTowardHappiness]

Thank you for making this wonderful video. I am a lifelong resident of Abilene, and very proud of our very own Ike. You did such a nice job of explaining what you had seen and experienced. The original, smaller Eisenhower home was just beyond the train tracks of where the live train was. It was quite an honor to watch this, Jordan. Thank you!

[@bettyjean3135]

I remember as a kid the family would go to Wilbur, Nebraska to visit family. We stopped there a few times. It’s really grown. I will have to go back someday. Thanks for bringing back some special memories. Looking forward to tomorrow. 😁

[@pdxer8895]

Great Vlog. Dwight had his warts as does every President. He was was the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, and that makes him an American war hero. He loved his country, and we can honor him. We went to the site in the 70s, and his son was there researching him.

[@cindyjohnson2300]

My goodness havent been there for over 40 years, now I live near Mamie Dowd Eisenhower home.

[@beckys1570]

I have toured so many old homes like that. The blue roof on the front porch I was told was to ward off spiders and various bugs that build webs and birds nests because it resembles the sky. So my mother did that to the roof of her front porch and it actually works!!! Evil spirits ....uh no.

[@michaelstorm7552]

Jordan if you ever get to Gettysburg Pennsylvania you will have to check out the Eisenhower house it's where he lived at when he was president they do tours of it it's called the Eisenhower farm.

[@RefinedRetroReviews]

Visited here with one of my best friends on a cross country road trip. It is on the way to Denver easily accessible from Interstate 70. It is certainly worth a visit. The museum is very impressive and has a more substantial World War Two collection than most other museums in the US.

[@sandraplonka5225]

Was there 4 years ago, awesome President. You did a great video on inside it’s so small. Also he implied our highways in the U S.

[@gingerludtke8503]

As the Supreme Commander, Eisenhower had more power than any other man in history and that holds true today. He was a special individual. Biography's on this man make for very interesting reading!

[@pilarmartin5051]

LOVE YOUR VIDEO ABOUT PRESIDENT EISENHOWER DID SEND TO A LOT OF PEOPLE HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PRESIDENTS UNTIL NOW GREAT VIDEO.

[@deniseconaway701]

Meant to say Jordan what a beutifull area and a very peaceful and quiet place xxx

[@EllenCFarmGirl]

Thank you for this. My father marched in Eisenhower's inaugural Parade. My dad was a Midshipman at the Navel Academy. This was awesome!

[@chrismcevoy2503]

Rest In Peace Mamie Eisenhower November 14, 1896-November 1, 1979

[@mrDCunningham]

Very historical and informative vlog. Nice work👍🏻😎

[@tankerman135]

It is called Haint Blue-my neighbor in PA painted his this blue-it's actually a southern "thing"....

[@fattbobbysemporium9181]

It be great if you could set your alarm to when Jordan posts because usually he posts about the time I wake up

[@edkamensky6684]

Wonderful vlog, Jordan! Looking forward to tomorrow's vlog! Dwight Eisenhower is the only President that I have personally seen! When I was in elementary school my name (and one other student's) was drawn and we were able to go to see President Eisenhower during a visit he made to Los Angeles. I remember him standing in a convertible and waving to the crowd as he drove by. Of course, I was too young to understand the significance of just WHO I was seeing----but as I got older, I understood and it is a great memory for me today! Thank you for reminding me of that with your wonderful video!

[@Giselle1960]

Great video Jordan ❤️

[@lakemichigan6598]

Another tourable historical Eisenhower home site is his post Presidential residence in Gettysburg, PA, near the grounds of the famous Civil War battle.

[@TheMartinick]

I so remember the "I Like Ike" presidential campaign buttons from my childhood! Looking forward to Part 2!

[@boris1932]

I went through there as a kid -- that was many moons ago! lol! Jordan have you ever had a chance to go to Wright Patterson AF Museum in Dayton? They have Eisenhower's presidential plane there and many other aircraft/ space craft on display. It has exhibits from the Wright Bros. to present day.

[@joshuawaltz9484]

Awesome vlog Dwight D. Eisenhower, what a great leader and role model. Have a good day Jordan.

[@garyweaver5398]

Very well kept memorial grounds

Great president. I think everyone loved him. So interesting to see the house. Thank you, Jordan. Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁

[@Gang155]

What a great spot to stop and vlog! The way everything was described, you could imagine the family living in that wonderful home. It must have been a busy one with all those boys! I love what they did with the grounds to honour him.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Nice vlog Jordan! The house looks amazing!

[@donellemiller6680]

Nice beginning! Sorry you got rushed thru the house tour, always frustrating when you want to absorb the atmosphere and don't get the time. You did a fine job sharing what you learned. Hope part 2 is at a personal pace, looking forward to the rest!

[@JHGwjesusLuv]

Great vlog Thank you for taking the time to make it brings back good memories Thank You very much!

[@bulcub]

I remember as a kid watching his funeral on tv.

[@murphy1384]

Blue ceiling on porch is for bug control also..... people swear that blue paint repels insects, leaving a porch bug-free and pleasant during those long summer evenings and afternoons. ... Lye is a known insect repellent, which would explain why insects would avoid nesting on a painted porch ceiling or ledge.

[@phoenixnimitz9614]

That was totally awesome!! I wasn't born during his terms in office, but I heard nothing but good thing about him from my parents & grandparents. This museum is now on my bucket list! Thanks, Jordan!

[@outsider238]

Another great vlog my good man!

[@JoJo86155]

Great job on your tour and knowledge. His birthday is 4 days prior to mine. I miss him. ❤🙂

[@kellylermasprague5417]

Although I live in Kansas and go past Abilene on the way to KC , I have never been to his home. My husband grew up in Salina , for field trips they did all things Abilene. I love the I like Ike signs all over . We stop there to eat at Joe Snuffy's (great place for burgers and traditional set down) It's a neat little town. So cool you made the trip to Kansas

[@missUn1verse81]

Great video. Thank you.

[@janadeubner9883]

Very interesting vlog. I always love to hear and see history.

[@anniem9595]

[@mariaday712]

Very interesting vlog. Lots of information on Dwight. Sorry you were rushed through Dwight's house.The fountain looks lovely and cooling. The chapel is lovely. Can't wait to see part 2. Safe Travels and Take Care.

[@toddjones5795]

Thanks for sharing.

[@drummerdeacan]

Thank you! My dad was a Marine & served white house duty during DDE's administration. The first lady was attracted to my dad's southern accent. She often asked about his childhood & upbringing from the rolling hills of Mississippi. In fact, she shared a peanut butter/jelly sandwich & milk with my dad. Here's an interesting fact; DDE liked Case pocket knives. There's a model called, "Eisenhower" He would give one to guest of the white house & or other occasions. He gave my dad one too! DDE purchase all of his Case pocket knives from his home town hardware store. No telling how many knives he bought to give away. The letters, D D E was inscribed on the main blade. This video hit home to me. Again, thanks man.

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Very interesting, Jordan.

[@tomdegan6924]

You should visit the FDR Library in Hyde Park, NY.

[@lauriealexander5857]

Yaaay cool vlog!!! Love your work keep it up❤❤❤❤❤

[@RobSandage]

Once again Jordan you did a great job on the vlog here! I enjoyed hearing about Dwight D. Eisenhower. I attended in my hometown one of the many high schools that were named after him. My two sisters and I attended Dwight D. Eishenhower High School in Decatur, Illinois. The original high school that I attended was torn down and rebuilt because the person in charge of the Decatur Public Schools wanted it more modern for the younger generations. The old high school did not have the CCTV cameras and security measures for the youth of today and that is why the old high school was torn down and rebuilt. The other high school was named after Douglas MaCarthur who also fought in World War II. It was also torn down and rebuilt. I did not like the idea of rebuilding those two high schools because Decatur is no longer a booming town like it once was. I used to be a Test Administrator for MEPS and did that for 5 years and I would do some of the high schools around St. Louis and Ferguson, Mo.. Those were pretty large high schools and the super intendant wanted to modernize the high school. By doing that the schools mascot that was a part of the entrance of the high school was removed and me as a alumni was not too pleased about that.

[@jen6202]

Hi Jordan! Great vlog! So interesting! I always learn so much from your videos! Keep up the great work!! You are really so good at this!!!😃
