Mamie Eisenhower rides the AFT

When Mamie Eisenhower rode the American Freedom Train on July 1, 1976, she had a good idea of what she wanted to eat -- her 'family recipe' green beans!

Here is the recipe, as provided to the AFT Foundation for preparation.

Mrs. Eisenhower rode the train from her home in Gettysburg to York, PA.

Mamie Eisenhower accepts a token of friendship and appreciation from the AFT Foundation -- a commemorative plate with a picture of the American Freedom Train on it.
