Dwight D. Eisenhower retired to a farm on the edge of the Civil War Battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He raised Angus cattle, painted, and spent more time than ever before with Mamie. The former President and his wife also traveled both for pleasure and to revisit the sites of past triumphs, as when they went to Normandy to film a documentary for the twentieth anniversary of D-Day. Eisenhower wrote two volumes of memoirs about his White House years.
