Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library & Museum

Tourist attraction

👍 Very nice museum worth a visit. It does a good job outlining the life of Eisenhower without getting too bogged down in minutia. 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...

Jesse James Home Museum

Museum

👍👍 Great stop! Just $4 to enter house which is priced right for the size of it. The house was originally way up the hill with no one around it, a perfect view to see anyone approaching his rental, and very private. Can you imagine how on edge he must have always been?! Then to let his guard down one b...

Genoa Indian Industrial School Museum

Historical place museum

😠 To the owners and volunteers, and all who work here present day, please do not be offended by my review. For I am only seeking for the truth at these Indian boarding schools worldwide. Genoa in particular because historical trauma haunts many along with other factors. I am a descendant from the Phil...
