The Eisenhower House













The Eisenhower House is a charming victorian farm house at the top of the hill in Fort Adams State Park.

It in now one of my favorite venues for a tented event.

Here is the History of the House.
Eisenhower House is a historic late nineteenth-century home that served as the residence for the Commandant of Fort Adams. Newport architects George C. Mason and Son designed the house in 1873, and General Henry Jackson Hunt was the first in a long line of military officers to live here.
The most famous resident was President Dwight D. Eisenhower, for whom the house is named. President Eisenhower vacationed here during the late summer of 1958 and 1960. At first, the president was quartered at the Naval War College on Coasters Harbor Island. But golf was Ike’s passion, and given Eisenhower House’s location near the Newport Country Club golf course, this became the president’s Summer White House.
The United States Navy transferred Fort Adams and Eisenhower House to the State of Rhode Island in 1964 for use as a state park. Today Eisenhower House is a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the property is the scene of many public and social events.
