Upcoming Events
BLOCKBUSTER EXHIBIT: The Gem on the Plains: Ike’s Abilene 1890-1910 - May 15, 2009 through February 21, 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.
