Eisenhower Farm at Gettysburg.
Postcard Photograph signed: "Mamie Eisenhower". Color, 5½x3½.
Picturing the Eisenhower Farm at Gettysburg, with inset of bust photographs
captioned "America's First Family/President and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower".
Captioned on verso: "Here President and Mrs. Eisenhower spend as much
time as official duties will permit. A few hundred yards from this site,

Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower lived in 33 homes during 53 years of
married life. Their Gettysburg farm was the only home they ever owned
together. It was not publicly known that Mrs. Eisenhower suffered from
Mèniere's disease, an inner ear infection that affected her balance, causing
rumors of alcoholism. After leaving the White House in 1961, she continued her
custom of having a masseuse three times a week, going to Elizabeth Arden and
having card parties. During her husband's final illness, Mamie moved into
Walter Reed Army Hospital to be with him. Slight surface wear. Fine
condition.
