About Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site
A wood frame house on S. Lamar Avenue marks the room where Dwight D. Eisenhower was born on October 14, 1890. He became the first U.S. president born in Texas, and the site preserves that birthplace as its central feature. The address places it within Denison itself, tying the future president's origin directly to this house rather than to any surrounding acreage.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
