DID YOU KNOW???
- General Eisenhower became popular and well-respected after spearheading the massive allied invasion of Europe on D-Day (June 6, 1944) that decisively turned the tide of WWII. He later accepted the Republican nomination and was elected President of the United States in 1952.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th president of the United States who spent much of his time on Neilson Ranch in Fraser, noting that he was most relaxed while fly-fishing the Fraser River or St. Louis Creek. This part of Grand County soon became famously known as the “Western Whitehouse”.
- During one notable trip to the Fraser Valley in 1954 President Eisenhower signed a bill that established the United States Air Force Academy.
