Truman Little White House, Key West

It's life in the early 50s(if your the president!). The grounds are beautiful, the home carefully and lovingly restored. Truly a snapshot of postwar America! Perez. Truman was far from popular when he left office, but he served admirably at one of the most pivotal times in U.S. history. The photos and furniture are amazing the paint, upholstery, knickknacks, and carpets truly bring home the sense that you're in Truman's vacation (!!) home! The Lincoln limousine parked out front gives a pause! No A/C! No power steering!! Its like an Easter Island statue with wheels. Our guide was most informative! Note: you must buy tour to fully access the house! Very informative and thoroughly enjoyable!

I have a great appreciation for history and Presidential libraries and museums etc and love a good history tour like the next person. We attended a large event on the grounds here and although the sprawling grounds were impressive and massive, the tour of the Little White House where Harry Truman spent a number of months out of the years as President, was pretty unimpressive. I am glad it was free and part of this event, otherwise I would of asked for a refund. Yes, you get to see some really cool 1950's era furnishings and hang out where Truman played poker and see his porch and bedroom and even a Presidential podium room etc, where he might of made a speech or two, but what this amounts to is two floors of just, an old house, a wax figure of Truman and a very large gift shop. That is pretty much it, and not much else. I would save your money on this one.
