Truman Little
White House
Exhibits |
|
|
| The Harry S. Truman Little White House in Key West,
Florida was the winter White House for President Harry S. Truman. This presidential
museum also served as a naval base and in turn retained a lot of character
and history over the years. |

In 1991,
the house opened as a state historic site and Florida's only
presidential museum. There are many little details that make this house
unique including the living and dining quarters. Approximately 80-90% of the furnishings
are original to the site and give an intimate view of the personal life of the president.
The on-going Phase II of the house restoration is designed to make the house interior
even closer to its 1949 appearance.

Historical Exhibit Series
This display of Christmas ornaments and cards is part of a series of historical exhibits presented by the Key West - Harry S. Truman Foundation, Inc. throughout the year. The purpose of these exhibits is to share our collections with our guests so that they may experience the rich history of the presidency of the United States, with special emphasis placed on the six presidents who have used the Little White House. Your membership would help carry on that legacy. |
