This was a very interesting tour - a lot of history in this modest house. We loved the fact that things have pretty much been kept as they were when Truman was here, including the classic Florida prints on the furniture. The grounds are also beautiful.

This tour was very interesting-the grounds are beautiful and the small museum is very informative. Our tour guide Greg M was awesome and answered all questions in detail. Learned so much about Truman - this is a must do in Key West.

We loved this tour. Harry S. Truman used this house for 175 days in the winter. It is located right off the cruise port and is very walkable to get to. It is the only Presidential museum in Florida. It was $22.95 for an adult ticket. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the stories he told were so interesting. The round table on the first floor that doubled as a poker table and dining table was a hoot. Boy the people who have sat at that table... The restoration and attention to detail was wonderful. You can't take pictures in the house but there is a gift shop and in the back there are exhibits and photos you can take pictures of. Would highly recommend if you are in Key West.

We have always wanted to do this tour and so glad we finally did! Our tour guide Larry was very informative and brought the life of Truman’s time in Key West alive. It was fascinating to learn of what a humble and proud man he was from his midwestern roots in Missouri and how he carried that over with decisions governing our nation to be in the ranking of 6th greatest Presidents in the US. The timeline historical info was well appreciated and it is a tour very worth the time to take!

In the past we had done the free visit here- you can see a couple rooms and displays as well as the outside of the buildings and the presidential limo without buying tickets. This year we bought the tour tickets and we were glad we did. The tour was great and our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Harry Truman spent a lot of time in KW and he accomplished a lot of important work from here.

Can you use the senior park pass to enter?

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
