"Gem on the Plains: Ike's Abilene, 1890-1910" Exhibit
Start: Jan 1 2010
End: Jan 31 2010
This exhibit takes a look at Abilene at a time when a young barefoot boy had simple dreams of the future. His upbringing in a modest Kansas town, by a family of religious beliefs and a strong work ethic, taught young Ike the values and morals of honesty and a hard day’s work. On exhibit are school books used by the Eisenhower boys, Ike’s 1909 diploma, items from the family home, typical toys of the turn of the century, and many photographs of early Abilene and much more.
