Review:
The façade of the Harry S. Truman Little White House hides a fascinating history that commenced way back in 1890, when the building was used as the naval headquarters for the Spanish-American War, and later during the first and second world wars.
From around 1946, President Harry S. Truman began to use the building as his “Winter White House,” where he was often visited by both military and political figures on urgent matters of state.
Today, the historic home is operated as a museum, where you can go on a guided tour to gain an insight into the life and times of President Truman and his successors, who came to Key West to relax and recharge during the dark years of the Cold War.
You can also go on a botanical tour of the surrounding gardens, where tropical trees and shrubs abound.
