The Harry S. Truman National Historic Site preserves the former home of United States President Harry S. Truman along with several other properties throughout the Kansas City area connected to his life and legacy. The site, which was designated as a National Historic Site in 1983, is overseen by the National Park Service and is located on North Delaware Street in Independence. It served as Truman's home from the time of his marriage in 1919 to his death in 1972. Visitors can glimpse into the former president's life and work through preserved living history exhibits within the home, which recreate period-appropriate furnishings and display significant artifacts. Two adjacent homes belonging to Bess Truman's brothers are also preserved, along with the Noland Home, which formerly belonged to the president's aunt and cousins.
