TheEisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site is located at 609 S. Lamar Avenue inDenison,Grayson County, in theU.S. state ofTexas. PresidentDwight D. Eisenhower was born in the house on October 14, 1890, making him the firstpresident of the United States to be born in Texas.

Background

[edit]

Eisenhower's military success asSupreme Allied Commander Europe duringWorld War II prompted local Denison school principal Jennie Jackson to correspond with General Eisenhower. She inquired if he was from the Eisenhower family she remembered in Denison. His family had moved to Kansas when he was two years old, and until he received Jackson's letter, he was unaware he had been born in Denison. Eisenhower's motherIda Elizabeth Stover was still alive at the time, and he put his mother in touch with Jackson. Upon hearing from Eisenhower's mother that this was indeed his birthplace, Jackson set about to raise funds to purchase the two-story frame house. After the purchase, the house was then donated to the city of Denison, Texas.^[3] The museum was established in 1955.^[4] After Eisenhower was elected President, the Eisenhower Foundation was formed in 1953 for restoration. The Foundation created a park by removing several other houses in the nearby vicinity, and doing landscaping improvements. In 1958, the restored home and surrounding park was donated to the State Parks Board. On January 1, 2008, the Eisenhower Birthplace was transferred from theTexas Parks and Wildlife Department to theTexas Historical Commission.^[5]

The home was designated aRecorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1962.^[2]
