TRUMAN LITTLE WHITE HOUSE

111 Front St, Naval Air Station Key West, FL 33040

“The Harry S. Truman Little White House in Key West, Florida was the winter White House for President Harry S Truman for 175 days during 11 visits. The house is located in the Truman Annex neighborhood of Old Town, Key West.” Wikipedia

In my quest to visit sites related to the U.S. presidency, I stopped by Key West’s Truman Little White house where I got in on a very informative tour. President Truman spent 175 days during 11 different visits during his time in office. The converted officers’ quarters have been used for different high level governmental meetings since Truman’s days here. Photography was not allowed inside the house, which was too bad because there were some interesting pieces of furniture, like the poker table with ash trays made of spent shell casings. The admission of about $25 may have been a little steep for what one got, but I’m glad I did it.
