Nice house but nothing special. If you don´t want to buy any souveniers you won´t be excited. I expected to be much bigger. More

We really enjoyed this tour - though thought that 20 people at a time was too many. It was great to learn about President Truman and how he was so down to earth, but also all the issues he tackled. It was nice to believe a president (including the subsequent visitors) could be happy with the relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere... More

We were in Key West for a week and unfortunately it rained on one of those days so we decided to tour the Truman Little White House. It was a very good tour and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of interesting tidbits on Harry Truman! My wife and I came away with a better understanding... More

We had tickets through the "paradise passport" from the Trolley Tour, and I thought this would end up being one of the more boring tours on the list, but I was pleasantly surprised. This ended up being one of our favorite tours! Our tour guide was fantastic and had personal experience living on the island during the Cuban Missile Crisis.... More

As a history buff, I enjoyed this exhibit. The property is very interesting and full of history and the guides are very well versed and able to answer questions from the group. Truman loved coming to Key West, where he could roam the streets and swim the beach safely. This is very close to Mallory Square and other sites to... More
