Tips from the community
Speaking of Harry Truman, visit his iconic house to see how one of America’s most respected presidents lived before calling Pennsylvania Avenue home. During his time as president, the Victorian home was referred to as the “Summer White House” due to the amount of time the president spent here. Today, the house still holds family heirlooms and documents dedicated to Truman’s time spent in the Oval Office.
