Eisenhower Library and Museum

ππ Wonderful museum that was incredibly educational and informative. My daughter and I visited while we were passing through Kansas on a road trip and it was a great stop! The hours are short, so be aware they close at 4:30 every day, but we had time to visit the gift shop after the museum, as well. On...

The website says to plan on 3 hours, but I saw the museum in about 1 (and no, I didn't hurry). There are quite a few pieces including the actual table where the D-Day invas...

ππ What a lovely little gem in the middle of historic downtown! The park is beautifully manicured, and the sculptures are very well maintained and constructed.

That said, the focus of the mu...
