New Opportunities for Society Members
to Learn and Enjoy
The Society enhanced its October wreath laying ceremony by adding a luncheon at the Dobbin House followed by a guest speaker on Eisenhower. Often authors who published the latest scholarship on Eisenhower presented the programs, followed by a book signing opportunity.

Eisenhower's Life
Eisenhower Society
Board of Trustees
The Society works closely with the Eisenhower National Historic Site to commemorate Eisenhower. In the past the Society held an annual picnic at the Eisenhower Farm. Members participated in special tours of the home, educational programs, a putting contest, ate picnic food made from Eisenhower’s recipes, and enjoyed after dinner entertainment. The Society seeks a new summer experience for its members in the coming year.
The Society co-sponsored the D-Day + 80 Symposium for members and the public in 2024. Guest speakers included David Eisenhower, grandson of General Eisenhower as well as historians Dr. Craig Symonds and Dr. John C. McManus. Dr. Doug Douds, Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of General Eisenhower and Major Gen. William Matz participated in a panel discussion as well.
