"When this library is filled with documents, and scholars come here to probe into some of the facts of the past half century, I hope that they, as we today, are concerned primarily with the ideals, principles, and trends that provide guides to a free, rich, peaceful future in which all peoples can achieve ever-rising levels of human well-being."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Karl H. Weissenbach, Director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum, and Boyhood Home in Abilene, Kansas, will retire on June 3, 2016. Karl has been the library's director since April 2008. As director, Karl created the Kansas Town Hall, a public forum which brings policymakers into dialogue with citizens.
