Farm to Table Dinner at Eisenhower National Historic Site

On August 27, Eisenhower National Historic Site will host a farm to table dinner at the historic Eisenhower National Historic Site to celebrate the 100^th Anniversary of the National Park Service. The event is a collaboration of the Gettysburg Foundation, Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site. The dinner is curated by Chef Ben Walmer and Highlands Dinner Club, a mobile, culinary and social laboratory, in which participants join forces to design events and menus relevant to locations and occasions.  The event will feature special wine pairings from Gettysburg area wineries.

The five-course dinner will be served under a tent on the historic grounds from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. A team of accomplished chefs will work with provisions from local farms, gardens, orchards, wineries, micro-breweries, distilleries, and more, to create a unique meal that will reach deep into the historical roots of the 34^th president of the United States. Gettysburg Story film creator Jake Boritt will produce a series of short films to chronicle the creation of this singular meal to premiere that evening. Boritt was raised on a Civil War farm in Gettysburg that served as a stop on the Underground Railroad and a Confederate Hospital during the battle.

Tickets for this very special event are $125 and include: a five-course meal; cocktails; and a tour of the President’s home and gardens nestled within view of the South Mountain Range. Experience dancing to the Dave Winter Group at sunset. Parking for the event is available at the farm. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center. Guests may pick up purchased tickets at the Visitor Center’s “Will Call” window by Friday, August 26 or at the event. The dinner will be held rain or shine.
