CLICK-ON THE PHOTOS ABOVE TO ENLARGE THEM. LAST THURSDAY MORNING NANCY AND I STOPPED AT THE MAMIE DOUD EISENHOWER
BIRTHPLACE FOR A ONE-HOUR VISIT....ADMISSION JUST $4 PER PERSON.
THE HOME WHERE SHE WAS BORN (PHOTO IS OF THE BED WHERE SHE WAS BORN) IS LOCATED AT 709 CARROLL STREET IN BOONE. BOONE, A CITY OF 12,000, IS LOCATED ON HIGHWAY 30 ABOUT 15 MILES WEST OF AMES. A NICE COUNTY SEAT CITY. THE CAR BELOW (PLYMOUTH VALIANT) WAS ONE MAMIE OWNED.
