Quick visit to see the humble beginnings of President Eisenhower. The visitors center is currently closed due to COVID, but the staff has pamphlets available outside the center for self guided tours. Call ahead to reserve a time slot to do a self guided tour of the house. Masks are required. The staff was very friendly. Although the gift shop is closed for in store shopping, you can call to place your order and the employee will pop out with your bag of items. Very clean restrooms.

It was closed when we arrived and you need to make a reservation in advance. The house was cool even though we could only peek through the windows.

We couldnt have had a better experience! We didnt have the needed tour reservation but the guide/manager/nice person told us how we could park closer and look in the windows. This is such a cool piece of history we stumbled upon today!!

Beautiful peaceful place. It wasnt open but we drove by it and had a picnic in the car in the parking lot. Good place to go during covid lockdown. Just good to get out of the house.

I love hiking around this property. Chose to have lunch there on Ikes birthday. Peaceful

As a homeschool family with boys that LOVE history... This stop was worth it! We loved walking the railroad tunnel that used to be right next to the house and seeing the history inside the home.

Very cool place to visit. Wish there was more history on him.

They go above and beyond. The caretaker is the best person you will ever meet and it is well maintained with a knowledgeable staff

Can only be accessed from the north. Minimal interaction with park staff due to Covid, but could still see his home just fine.

Its free unless you want the tour of the birthhouse. Tour for 5 was $10 family price. Tour guide was a 10. She was very informative and enthusiastic.

Have been wanting to visit Eisenhower’s home for over 20 years while living in Dallas. Enjoyed walking the grounds. Very well maintained!

Very interesting place. Guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about Eisenhower, his home, and the area. A highly recommended visit!

A hidden gem in Denison, Texas. The volunteers were friendly, knowledgeable and very proud of President Eisenhower. We had Maxine as our tour guide; she was superb, she truly made history come alive for our group. Very engaging! Dont miss this gem if youre ever in the area!

Its awesome that this part of American history has been saved for all to see. As a women in 2019 I am amazed at what the living conditions were in 1890. How hard it was to take care of a family and a home.

Really lovely stop and very informative staff. Very unassuming humble home and exactly what I expected.

Great friendly staff. Quiet and relaxing with good hiking and scenery.

A very nice place to remember a great President. They kept the grounds immaculate. We didnt go for the tour, but did watch the 7 minute video, which was very informative. Did you know he was in Dennison for only 18 months of his life? Yupp. A must go, definitely a hidden gem.

Great knowledgeable guide with lots of info. Nicely done. Video short and to the point. My 14 year old son liked it.

Nice quiet location. There is no fee to walk around the location. Great for those who enjoy photography. However, if you would like to visit the inside of the house, there is a small fee. If you find yourself visiting this location, make sure to go and check out Eisenhower State Park. You will enjoy checking this historic propery out.

Wow! What a most interesting historic site nestled away in the small quiet town of Denison, TX within an even more quiet and isolated corner of the the town. The grounds are very well maintained within beautiful flowing manicured lawns and simple well detailed gardens.

A very beautiful and well kept historical site

Learned about Dennison, the neighborhood and the home where the 34th president was born. Knowledgeable tour guide made things interesting.

Great place with tons of history all around one of the greatest generals of all time. Love the staffs passion for the man and his many accomplishments. Its worth driving to Denison to see Ikes birthplace.

Truly a great experience right in our back yard. It was humbling to watch the video and explore the area around the historic home and feel like you were transported back a few decades.If you ever want to get out of DFW and explore true American history, this is a great place to start.

Was closed when I stopped there with my family, but interesting nevertheless.Would have expected a better sign and more information outside of the house though.

I was driving through from my trip to Arkansas, back to Dallas, and in a previous drive to the east coast I had planned to visit Eisenhower National Historic Site where he lived the last years of his life in Gettysburg, PA. So many times I had driven past Denison though was always too tired from driving, and I couldnt pass by this time and not see some of it, so I have uploaded some photos.

Really nice place to stop by and visit for a bit. We just parked and were able to walk around the area. However we weren’t actually able to go inside the house. It was free for us to walk around, but I believe they offer tours at a low price.

This is the third presidential birthplace I have been to. They are all humble places where the future president learned hard work and personal responsibility.

This is a neat little piece of history worth visiting. The tour is short, but worth the $4. The visitor center has a decent video to watch and displays.

Although the house is small the tour guide provided a lot of information and the video in the guest center was very informative.

Wonderful experience and such a great educational opportunity.

Great place and historical. People at the main office, extremely knowledgeable and very nice. The tour guide was great as well. Highly recommend, specially if you enjoy history.

I definitely recommend paying the extra money to take a tour. It is worth it and the staff is quite knowledgeable.

I great piece of history. Staff is very knowledgable and fun and friendly.

Was a lovely unexpected historical place to visit. The lady at the visitors center was very friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the short video and the well put together displays.

Nicely laid out. Would have given 5 stars but it needs some repairs. Will go again!

This site has a lot of information on Preside t Eisenhower. The house he was born in is kept up really well too. It would have been nice to see some items in the house that was used by his parents, but they do have items from the 1890s which is really nice. The office has a few pamphlets on other sites you can visit as well.

Very informed and enthusiastic staff. We did the tour and enjoyed it. A little tough to find (roads via google were closed) but worth a visit if you have an hour.

Beautiful area.

The docent was well informed and entertaining. Her presentation kept the entire groups attention. Everyone in our group thought it was very worthwhile.

Was great to see the place and learn the humble beginning of one of the greatest personality in modern history. Tour was awesome. Loved it.

Dwight Eisenhower is a legend. It is fun to see how he grew up

Searching Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site should navigate you to the visitor center, but doesnt. Drivers should remember to come down Crockett, turn west onto Nelson, because the other access streets are closed off leading to Lamar.

This was a wonderfully restored home with a great storyteller as our tour guide. The 7 minute film in the visitors center was very informative abd interesting. The pictures and history of his life were also interesting abd informative! Dennison toy have done well!

Butterflies were a bonus. Groundskeeper was friendly and informative.

This is a must see stop in Denison, wonderful spot to make memories with the entire gang

Want to go back when we have more time!

Well kept, awesome history and great tour guides.

It was a nice small museum with a large outdoor area. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on President Eisenhowers life and the life of his family. Its a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Its remarkable how a community would put their efforts to keep a small, yet integral part of history alive. We loved visiting the place and learning a little more about the times then.

If you are a fan of of history, this is a great place to visit. Our former president lived here briefly as a child, and the house is recreated as if in that time. The staff here is very knowledgeable and has all sorts of trivia. It is a good way to spend 30 minutes if you are a history buff.

Awesome tour guide!

Neat stopping point for traveling adults. Wouldnt recommend for young children as it consists mostly of reading about Eisenhowers life. They also have an optional tour every hour that cost 4$. Didnt take the tour because of our timing but the staff was very helpful and courteous.

Video was excellent. Enjoyed all pictures and verbage on the walls.We were too late to do tour of home.The lady in Visitor Center was very knowledgeable.

Beautiful area. Well maintained. A small piece of history. Worth taking the short detour.

Beautiful quaint little spot in the Sleepy town of Denton you learn a lot about local history but most of all is just a peaceful place to set and take it in and contemplate everything. Plenty of nice little diners to eat at grab a cup of coffee in the area as well Eisenhowers birthplace its just a Serene and gorgeous place to stand.in All!

A must visit place about one and half hour drive from Dallas Texas.

Was passing through and did the detour on a whim. Well maintained facilities that merit a walkthrough. I hope that the next generation or two will sustain the maintenance of the facilities connected to the leader of very, very special persons, many of whom gave their lives so that we could enjoy the longest peacetime in centuries.

Go for the Eisenhower history, leave educated about life in the early 1900s in Texas. This place has some amazing tour guides who are very knowledgeable and excited to share it with their guests. You will find the actual house President Eisenhower was born in, a museum about his life, and a very beautiful setting. There is a $4.00 tour fee, but otherwise it is free to visit the grounds and museum.

Loved visiting, and learning about our history, the kiddos loved it too

Shows cool history.

This is a great historical gem. The staff here are very knowledgeable and friendly. The welcome center has a lot of pictures spanning Ikes life and a short video of his life and when he came back to Denison after WWII. We spent about an hour visiting the welcome center, taking the guided tour of the house, and the grounds. This site is also very easy to get around. The town of Denison is also interesting and worth visiting. If this review was helpful to you, please give it a like.

I liked the tour guide, he was nice and knew a lot about Eisenhower. The houses themselves were really cool and they looked great. The main house has a lot of neat graphics and information about Eisenhower.

Interesting place to stop. Loved there was so many butterflies.

The best of all was how knowledgeable was the guide person. The Administration/Goverment needs to do a better effort to build a better story and museum about that historic landmark.

Very nice and very good information. The gift shop is nice but small and thats what makes it down to earth. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Good history lesson again Really enjoyed it with New friends

Had easter egg hunt here help by City of Denison. Was nice of them and looks amazing out here well taken care of. Been here while back and loved it very informative.

I am a lover of history, and the guides are very knowledgeable and have a genuine passion for their work.

Very pretty place. Quiet and peaceful.

Love this place for picnics!!

I love history, this place had a lot of info for Eisenhower.

A very interesting stop

Great place for getting thouse ex raid passes :p

It was a great experience! I learned a lot!

It was great

Beautiful grounds. The short video and the docent were very informative. It was interesting to learn about the humble beginning of such a great man.

Enjoyed my visit here. It was a nice place to take my children and spend part of an afternoon together.

Very informative! Only thing you have to pay for is the tour thru the actual house but the furniture is just replicas of what was used in that era.

Would have lime to your the house, walked all the way to it and you can not go in. The film at visitor center was great.

Beautiful place

This was ..interesting and worth the stop..but I got the feeling that they were sort of stretching a bit with the Eisenhower connection . I mean, he was born there, yeah..but left when he was one. He didnt have any recollection of Texas at all. It wasnt until decades later this womens historical society saved the house and incited him for the opening of it. I mean, Im glad I went...but the connection was a little tenuous.

Outstanding visit, worth a drive from Houston if your into IKES history! Great tour guide also!!

Neat place full of history!

A wonderful place to visit. We had no idea that President Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas. The tour of his boyhood home was educational and quite interesting.

Take a tour and check out the gift shop! A fun way to learn more about Denison and Ike.

Cool place to take the kids

Very cool place to visit. Kids had a great time.

Its a nice quite place to escape from the city and just hang out- havent been into the museum yet but its nice to have a picnic lunch without being crowded

Good stop .

I am looking forward to meeting a special person with a certain gift I pray they find it in there heart to help me out..thank you so much.God Bless you.

Easy to the recall on our visit with the children over 30 years ago. I hear that the building may have moved since then.

A true American story.

Very nice and rather inexpensive tour.

I great visitor center that showcases Ike biography.

Learned a lot, neat little place

BRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES WHEN I WENT THERE WITH MY PARENTS

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great learning experience

If you like historic placeThis one is the best place

Cool historical landmark. Small but a must see.
