President Eisenhower Visits the Grant
July 1955

DURING his swing through northern New England last month, President Eisenhower accepted the invitation of President Dickey to have lunch with a fishing party at the Dartmouth Grant on June 25. In a brief stopover of an hour and a half, President Eisenhower donned a DOC jacket, cooked his own trout for lunch, and enjoyed a bit of relaxed camp life before moving on to Maine.
