Harry S Truman Little White in Key West, FL

History buffs have a wealth of places to see and learn about when traveling in Key West but none is more fascinating than the Harry S Truman Little White House. This was the home away from home with President Truman needed to get away from Washington and de-stress. He called this historical home "the little white house" and often joked that he should move the capital to this little slice of paradise.

The Harry S Truman Little White House is open for touring to the general public daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with tours starting every 15 minutes or so and lasting almost an hour. There is a Presidential gift shop on the grounds for your souvenir purchasing pleasure. Located on Front Street in Key West, it faces the water and catches some lovely sea breezes. There are one or two rooms that are free to look at but you really need to spring for the tour itself. Adults are $11 while children 12 and under are only $5.

Harry S. Truman was a popular president because he was an "everyday" kind of man who appealed to both the common folk as well as the most powerful people in the world. He had no pretensions and was a fascinating character. The tour of the Harry S Truman Little White House will give some spectacular insights into this Presidential figure and you will walk away impressed enough to want to buy his biography which, of course, is for sale in the gift shop! This is a truly unique experience and well worth the time and expense.
