...site. Like a shopping center, there are a number of parts to it. The library and the museum are in separate buildings. Eisenhower's boyhood home has been restored. The former president and his infant first born son are buried in the chapel-like Place of Meditation. In a focal arc, five large Memorial Pylons are dedicated to Eisenhower's parents, the six Eisenhower brothers, members of the armed services, democracy, and the home where the president spent his childhood.
