In 1898 Eisenhower's father, David Jacob Eisenhower, and his wife Ida Elizabeth Stover Eisenhower, bought the house from David's uncle Abraham. David and Ida lived in the house until their deaths in 1942 and 1946.^[2]

The upper level has two large bedrooms and one small bedroom.^[2]

After Ida's death the Eisenhower brothers gave the house and its contents to a memorial foundation for preservation. The house is operated as a museum on the grounds of the Eisenhower Presidential Center, which houses Eisenhower's presidential library and gravesite.^[3] The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 1971.^[1]
