If you don't enjoy history, you will probably not like this KW attraction. Our tour guide, a young gentleman, was great. Told us little known stories about President Truman, allowed us to see his private bar with the Old Granddad liquor that he drank every morning. I didn't know a lot about this time in history ( I'm a baby boomer) so for my husband and me, this was a worthwhile stop. In general, no matter where you go, it all depends on the tour guide/docent. We lucked out. Also, a smaller tour group allows for more questions and answers and more opportunity to see things close up. We were in a group of about ten people so lots of room to walk around, view items, etc. I definitely think it's worth your time and money.

Q:
Can you use the senior park pass to enter?
A:
This house is not run by the US Park Service so you cannot. I recommend buying your passes online as that will save you a couple bucks.

A message to our Truman Little White House community: First and foremost, thank you for all the messages and well wishes sent our way during last week's storm. We wanted to be sure to notify you that our Tour Guides and Museum Staff in Key West are safe. While the Truman Little White House was spared by Hurricane Irma, we are using this time to assess any repairs and evaluate the status of our historic gardens. As Truman himself once said, “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.” We would like to thank the many courageous members and volunteers who have dedicated their mornings to clearing the area of debris and downed trees. We hope to be open for tours by the end of the week and appreciate your steadfast support. We look forward to an amazing season ahead and pray that you and your families were minimally impacted by the storm. Follow us on Facebook for the latest news and updates. Sincerely, Key West Harry S. Truman Foundation Team
