Eisenhower Birthplace Historic Site: From Humble Roots
Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower was born in the bedroom of the two-story house in Denison, TX. on Oct. 14, 1890. He was the only one of David and Ida Eisenhower’s seven children born in Texas.
Eisenhower was always the pride of Denison. The community acquired the Birthplace home in 1946 and he was hailed as a hometown hero when he came back to visit that year. He returned again on a presidential campaign trip in 1952, and Eisenhower Birthplace became a state park while he was president in 1958. He made his final visit in 1965 to dedicate the Eisenhower Auditorium at Denison High School (now Scott Middle School).
