She inquired if he was from the Eisenhower family she remembered in Denison. His family had moved to Kansas when he was two years old, and until he received Jackson's letter, he was unaware he had been born in Denison. Eisenhower's mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover, was still alive at the time, and he put his mother in touch with Jackson. Upon hearing from Eisenhower's mother that this was indeed his birthplace, Jackson set about to raise funds to purchase the two-story frame house. After the purchase the house was then donated to the city of Denison. The museum was established in 1955. After Eisenhower was elected president, the Eisenhower Foundation was formed in 1953 for restoration of the birth home.; Credit line: The Lyda Hill Texas Collection of Photographs in Carol M.
