Join the Dwight D. Eisenhower Society for “At Ease with the Eisenhower Society” at the World War II American Experience Museum on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Our theme is Ike, Mamie and World War II. Enjoy food, fun, entertainment, World War II programs, and trivia. Come dressed in your best World War II attire, or come in comfortable clothing, your option. Visit the museum exhibits, look inside a tank, stroll the grounds to look at period vehicles, attend a program entitled, “Ike and Monty: Two Proud Generals” presented by park ranger John Tuskan or just chat with friends.
