This cold afternoon we went up the drive and drove around the property. The place looks well kept and the farm seems welcoming for not having the house open this day. Full review by rogersober

The Eisenhour home is absolutely worth a stop. Our park ranger and tour guide were knowledgeable and helpful. The tour of the home is free-guided with information provided by booklet or QR code. Take… Full review by scfostermom

Q:
How much time does it take to drive around the Eisenhower site if we don't stop other than to take pictures?

It depends on your level of interest and if you have children with you. My daughter and I enjoyed the night walking tour and we also enjoyed the ones during the daytime and learned a lot. There are several different tours. The Eisenhower Farm was really interesting, even for our 12-year-old. I also got a great photo during our own driving tour of the battlefields of a monument with a re-enactor walking by, a cloud shaped like a flying eagle in the sky and an "orb" near the soldier. Reading books about the battle, such as Killer Angels, also help as you can visit specific areas. We usually spend 3 days there... and have returned for many years now... always something new to see and learn!

Q:

A:
You have to go to the Gettysburg Battlefield Visitor Center to get admission tickets for Eisenhower and you take a shuttle bus from outside the Gettysburg Visitor Center to get to Eisenhower. There isn't any parking available at the Eisenhower site except for employees. I would recommend purchasing tickets online (go to NPS.GOV and navigate to the Eisenhower page) before you go. Admission prices and schedules can also be found on this same website. Because of the popularity of Gettysburg, Eisenhower also attracts a fair number of guests.
A:
Q:
Hours of operation.
A:
The hours are 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The tickets for the site are bought at Gettysburg Visitors center and bus also leaves from there.
