As Eisenhower accepted the accolades of a grateful free world on a whirlwind victory tour, his Abilene roots attracted notice. In 1944, artist Albert Reid wrote to <em>Abilene Reflector-Chronicle</em> owner and editor Charles Harger suggesting the construction of a memorial or "shrine" to the general. Harger began promoting the idea and found that most people wanted to include space for items from veterans and the General himself. When Ike returned for a victory parade in 1945, he agreed to the plan and the Eisenhower Foundation was established the same day. The organization sought to erect a war memorial in Abilene to recognize General Eisenhower and honor the American soldiers of World War II. </div> <div class="module-quote grid-item"> <div class="asset-module-quote-txt xs-mb-2">“The proudest thing I can claim is that I am from Abilene.”</div> <h4 class="asset-module-quote-credit-txt">Homecoming Speech, Abilene, Kansas, 22 June 1945</h4> </div> <div class="module-audio grid-item"> <div class="module-data" data-mediauri="None" data-id=""> </div>  <div class="module-soundcloud-player"> <iframe width="100%" height="20" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/317240049&color=5d9ba1&inverse=true&auto_play=false&show_user=true"></iframe> </div> <h4 class="module-txt">General Eisenhower's "Homecoming Speech" in Abilene, Kansas on June 22, 1945</h4> </div> <div class="module-gallery grid-item"> <div class="module-data" data-images='[{"title":"Eisenhower Foundation members with Ida Eisenhower at the family home, Abilene, KS, 1945","caption":"Back row: Thornton Scott, Emmett Graham, Lorraine Long, Matt Guilfoyle, Lester Welch, Reynold Rogers, Paul Royer Front row: Sam Heller, Mrs. Ida Eisenhower and C.M.

The “crisis,” as the historian of the Eisenhower Foundation described it, nearly killed the organization before it could begin its work.

A state commission was formed to raise money for the construction. Upon completion of the Eisenhower Presidential Library in 1966, the campus was given to the National Archives and Records Administration. That same year, the first researchers arrived. Today the Library is one of thirteen presidential libraries administered by the National Archives. The Library preserves the documents, images, films, and artifacts that provide context of the times in which Eisenhower lived and served the nation and offer a window into how he operated as General and President. And yet, the Eisenhower story is still unfolding through new interpretations and groundbreaking research thanks to declassification of records and new discoveries. The final chapter is yet to be written, but the first drafts begin in the Library's archives. </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section" data-anchor="58ed2f6f54cdbf01ae6e07bd-1"> <div class="img-full-wrapper"> <picture data-object-fit="cover"><source media="(min-width: 2560px)" data-srcset="modules/custom/ike_legacy_organizations/src/static/assets/141.png"></source><source media="(min-width: 1920px)" data-srcset="modules/custom/ike_legacy_organizations/src/static/assets/142.png"></source><source media="(min-width: 1600px)" data-srcset="modules/custom/ike_legacy_organizations/src/static/assets/143.png"></source><source media="(min-width: 1334px)" data-srcset="modules/custom/ike_legacy_organizations/src/static/assets/144.png"></source><source media="(min-width: 640px)" data-srcset="modules/custom/ike_legacy_organizations/src/static/assets/145.png"></source><source media="(min-width: 240px)" data-srcset="modules/custom/ike_legacy_organizations/src/static/assets/146.png"></source><img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mPc+B8AAmcBsipTfnkAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-src="modules/custom/ike_legacy_organizations/src/static/assets/587.png" class="lazyload" alt="Eisenhower Foundation and<br>Eisenhower Presidential Library"></picture> <div class="module-image-gradient show-device"></div> </div> <div class="module-image-gradient hide-device"></div> <div class="section-content subchapter-content"> <div class="section-content-innerwrapper"> <div class="slide-subchapter-text"> <h3 class="slide-subchapter-date-txt"> Genesis of the Eisenhower Presidential Library </h3> </div> <div class="media"> <div class="module-text grid-item slide-subchapter-body-txt"> Soon after the opening of the Museum, Eisenhower decided that he would donate his papers to the Eisenhower Foundation if a suitable building could be built in Abilene.
