The restored Harry S. Truman Little White House was built in 1890 and served as the headquarters for the naval command through World War II. Truman first visited the house in 1946, and during his presidency used it several times as a vacation retreat. The original furnishings and decor have remained intact from the Truman era, and it has been used by subsequent presidents and officials as it still is today. Visitors can see Truman's piano and the desk he used during his "working vacations," and guides add insight into the building's history and the political significance it held during the Cold War. Tourists will also enjoy a self-guided tour of the home's botanical gardens.
Address: 111 Front Street, Key West, Florida
