Join us for history, art, and hands-on creativity to explore President Dwight D. Eisenhower's legacy as a statesman and an artist in this Encounters with History series event. A Gettysburg resident, President Eisenhower was known to paint in his free time to relax.

Then, ticketholders will participate in a paint night experience focused on one of President Eisenhower's paintings. Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar are offered as part of the paint night portion of the experience.
