I just returned from Abilene where I made the rounds of the Eisenhower sites there. Abilene is really a lovely community with a thriving downtown and so many nice independent businesses. In addition to the Eisenhower Presidential Museum and Library, the Seeleye Mansion and Lebold Mansion are fascinating show homes with a unique perspective on life in Abilene.
There's a great gallery of American Indian art located right across the railroad tracks for the Eisenhower Center and a couple of very nice B&Bs to choose from. I stayed at Abilene's Victorian Inn. It's all on my mind during this long President's Weekend holiday. Next time travels take you across I-70, be sure to slow down in Abilene.
