Truman Home

Independence, United States of America

Truman Home

The Independence home of the nation's 33rd President, completed in 1885 and furnished exactly as it was when Truman lived there. Only the main floor is currently open to visitors, via a guided tour conducted by National Park Service employees. Obtain tickets for $4 at their office at 223 N. Main St.

, then walk or drive a short distance away to the corner of Delaware St. and Truman Rd. to see the house itself. You ''must'' obtain the tickets at the Main St. office before attempting to enter the house! Tours are limited to eight persons at a time, and all tickets are sold on a "first-come, first-served" basis on the day of the tour only. NOTE: A ticket purchased to tour the Truman Home is also good to tour the ''Truman Farm Home'' in Grandview on the same day, and vice-versa.
