In Gettysburg, PA is the Eisenhower National Historic Site, where former president Dwight D. Eisenhower lived. Located adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Historic Park, this site can only be visited by catching a bus from the Gettysburg Visitor's Center with paid admission.
Once you arrive by bus, you're greeted by a park ranger who'll give you an overview of the history of the entire site and walk you to the main house. Inside the main house, you'll be greeted by another park ranger who will give you some more information about the house, focusing on how his wife, Mamie, used this house to greet visiting dignitaries.
Afterwards, you can explore the house and the grounds on your own, including a small building where the secret service were stationed 24 hours a day. When visiting Gettysburg, this is definitely a highlight of the visit and worth the extra price in admission.
