I know the answer! His home was in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
I visited his house with my family. ;)
My Mom just broke a glass that we got there.
Do you know what game Eisenhower liked to play?
Pictures of him playing it were on the glass that my Mom broke. ;)
PS We found a clue in the picture.

Boy that was quick. Its a nice house to visit and I am glad to hear that you were there. Ike use to love to play golf. He had a course set up behind his home and if you look in the photo you posted you will see it in the picture. Ike was the president when I was born and he was also the first president that I remember. I have also visited Ike's house twice. The first time was many years ago around 1989. On that visit an interesting old man who was Mamie Eisenhower's doctor before she died gave the tour. He had visited the home many time's when Ike and Mamie were alive and had many stories to tell. After the tour was over and the group dispersed he talked with me about Ike and Mamie for quite a while. Ike's home was actually a working farm and he ran it after he left the White House. The nice thing about Ike's home is that it is built along the edge of Civil War battle field and there are miles of open space around it. If anyone visits Gettysburg Pa this place is a must see. Down the road is General Lee's Headquarters and restaurant and just up the street is the Gettysburg historical center with hours of things to see.
Who was Ike's vice president?

Funny you should say Ike's house was a working farm.
BullCat Jr. remembered seeing a tractor. She has an excellent memory for small details.
You're right - it was a great place to visit.
Very interesting and it was impressive being right in the middle of all those Civil War Battle Fields.
