Truman Little White House, Key West

If you're a history buff you'll enjoy visiting the Truman Little White House. Our tour guide Rick was fantastic. He had great knowledge of President Truman's personal life, the house/property as well as numerous historical facts to share. My wife and I are glad we stopped by to see this place while vacationing in Key West.

If visiting Key West, the Truman Little White House is a great place to visit. Well done guided tour, or if your time is limited, there are some free exhibits. I was fascinated by the history of the place and how many significant events happened right here in Key West! There’s a small gift shop that was fun to look around in.

First time visiting this compound. Take time to look at all the tropical trees and plants outside, then go inside for the docent guided tour of the house as it was in 1949. See the desk where HST wrote over three hundred love letters to his wife Bess, the poker table with the top to “hide” it from the public, and the front porch where meetings past have been held. It’s no wonder several presidents have visited this place and Truman wanted to move the White House there and just stay!

“If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” Words to live by this museum was a pretty fun experience. I learned quite a bit and our tour guide, Greg M., was extremely informative and pleasant. The property is very well maintained and there are a lot of cool details to look at, facts to read. The outdoors had some beautiful flowers and the grounds are very pretty to walk around or even have celebrations. President Truman made some tough choices and not everyone likes someone who goes against the grain, but now, everyone may see differently. Definitely a lot of respect for him and a big thank you to everyone who keeps this place going so generations can continue to enjoy it and learn.

Definitely worth a visit!!! My wife and I have been to key west a few times and finally were able to visit the Truman White house. Cost was about $25 per person. It's a guided tour through the house, and maybe took 45 minutes to an hour. Our tour guide was excellent. Smart and funny! We visited around ten rooms in the house, most of them with original furniture, and learned so many cool facts. Highly recommend!
