Summer is an exciting time at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. On June 25, we opened a new exhibit commemorating the 50th anniversary of Eisenhower leaving office. It depicts the lasting accomplishments of Eisenhower's administration, including their impacts on today's society.

Also, the Library continues to experience an upsurge in the number of researchers, in response to the release of new materials. These include formerly classified documents and newly processed collections. Approximately 20 percent of the researchers are international visitors.

Eisenhower: Agent of Change is a retrospective look at Eisenhower's presidency. 

The impressive exhibit takes up two gallery areas in the museum and examines some of Eisenhower's most enduring foreign and domestic policy legacies. These legacies continue to impact American lives today. Themes of the exhibit include: Unifying America, Global Diplomacy, Atoms for Peace and War, the Military-Industrial Complex and Establishment of NASA and Advanced Research Projects Agency.

We provide visitors a balanced look at how Eisenhower's policies have evolved over 50 years. The exhibit includes many successful aspects of those eight years in office, as well as positions taken by Eisenhower's administration that were disappointments.  

Don't miss this exciting look at a pivotal figure of the 20th Century!
