Built by the Eisenhower Foundation with funds raised through public gifts, the museum was begun in 1952, and completed in 1954, to honor General of the Army, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the veterans of World War II. The museum collection consists of over 36,000 artifacts ranging from personal possessions of the First Family to jewel-encrusted gifts received from foreign heads of state.
The Museum's permanent galleries include an introductory gallery, an early career gallery, a changing exhibits gallery, a military gallery, and the presidential gallery. Here, a portion of the military gallery highlights some of the large artifacts of World War II, including General Eisenhower's 1942 Cadillac staff car.
