This summer I was a Curatorial Intern at the Eisenhower National Historic Site in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The site includes the retirement home of President Eisenhower and surrounding Angus cattle farm property. I split my time between working in the home and at an offsite storage facility. I assisted the curator with the exhibition of Mrs. Doud’s room, Eisenhower’s mother-in-law, in the family home. I also worked in storage to clean, organize, and inventory artifacts. I had many amazing opportunities this summer, including attending the Eisenhower Academy at Gettysburg College, a week long seminar for teachers who learn about Eisenhower. I also was able to visit and tour the National Park Conservation Center near Harpers Ferry. As an intern, we were housed in National Park housing on the Gettysburg Battlefield. I could not have been in Gettysburg at a better time since the park was honoring and celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Not only was I exposed to everything Eisenhower, I was also immersed in Civil War history! This internship, along with interpretation internships, is advertised on the Eisenhower National Historic Site website.
