I was pretty thrilled to see this and thank you so much for the acknowledgment. I hope to someday go there but I hope to see the inside of the house. It’s too bad that it was closed for your visit. Just a point of clarification, Camp David was named after Ike‘s grandson David Eisenhower. David is the son of John Sheldon Doud Eisenhower, Ike’s son. But you are correct that Ike‘s father was name David. I am honored that you mentioned me so much. And do we have a Gettysburg battlefield video to look forward to? LOL

I was so thrilled to be there and I never would have even have known about it if you did not do that letter video. It was so fun to do so I thank you. We will make the correction about Ike’s grandson and not son. Yes, I go to just a small part of Gettysburg. Little Round Top, Devils Den and where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg address. That will come out in the next couple of weeks. :)

Thanks @ Historyhunters I once saw Mamie. Ike's funeral train passed through town at like 0300 and when she learned there were thousands of people paying their respects she got up (she had been asleep) and came to the platform and thanked everyone for coming out. No one expected to see her and highly surprised when she appeared. IIRC she was wearing a dressing gown. :)

i read the original farm eisenhower bought was just 195 acres or something like that. one of his friends who became a business partner of his bought up all te adjacent land so ike can have his privacy but overall expanded his farm to like 480 acres. that's one hell of a friend.

That is one hell of a friend but he did breed cattle on his farm maybe that friend was in business with him.

"Thanks@Historyhunters" It's been over a decade since I was there but I'm sad to see the cattle are no longer there. I wonder why they got rid of them? The inside of the house is great. A must-see if you like that 50's decor. Don't bother asking where the Bunker is. They look at you funny and say there isn't one. I know Greenbrier is probably a 20-minute flight away...IF...the bird was sitting there and warmed up. So the idea that this was a presidential retreat during the height of the cold war and they had nowhere for the president to go except under the kitchen table is simply ridiculous. If you look around enough, you'll figure out where it is. I just could never figure out how to get to it from the living room. They did a great job of disguising the entrance. Loved the video tour. The only thing that has changed is the cattle barns.

My real name is Michael McCluskey. I was born in Upper Manhattan (Hudson Hgts) at St. Elizabeth Hospital on May 3rd, 1954. I believe President Eisenhower was the President then. My parents took a train from New York City to Cleveland Ohio in 1957. I've been here in NE Ohio ever since. Currently I live in Canton, Ohio

if you looked at the price tag ike paid for the property it was $44,000 in 1948. and the house was so old and falling apart they had to tear it down to rebuild it and the crazy part was by the time they finished building it in 1955... it cost ike over $200,000 in 1955 dollars... that's like $2 million in present dollars. where the heck did ike get that kind of money? i mean the first land purchase was crazy enough as it is because in current dollars that's like $500,000. iget he saved his money and with hs general pay but how the heck did he get the loans to pay for all that. interesting.
