Tour the historic Harry S. Truman Little White House in Key West and learn about a fascinating period of American history. What was once a private compound on a U.S. Navy base is today open to the public as a museum. Listen to fascinating stories told by informative guides about the history of the house, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Learn what Thomas Edison and Dwight D. Eisenhower did during their stays, and, of course, about Harry Truman’s long love affair with this gem of a property.

We books this tour as part of a combination ticket. We arrived and sat for a video before our tour. Really appreciated the work being done to preserve a point in time. The Little White House has some real story to be told during Truman's term. The docent was informed about the house and history. They are currently in renovation of some the areas but did not take away from the tour.

About $25 for the guided tour. The guide takes you to a couple of rooms on the first floor providing interesting info. Then they give you a few bullet points about each room on the second floor but do not accompany the group up there. The group reassembles after everyone comes back to the first floor and the guide talks about the remaining room. Despite thinking it odd that the tour guide did not accompany us upstairs, it was an interesting place. I do not believe that there is an elevator. About 30-45 minutes for the tour.

I absolutely recommend a visit to the Little White House, especially for self-identified history buffs. The guides and exhibits both earn high marks. I leaner more in the 35-minute tour about Truman's involvement the second world war then I have in a lifetime.

Very interesting stories told by our tour guide Bill. This house has a big history and we enjoyed the learning about the visits of Truman and other high level government officials.

Great piece of American history (with AC!) Truman accomplished so much during his presidency and yet he was under appreciated in his time. Highly recommend this tour. Good for all ages.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Feeling presidential? Come visit Harry Truman's historic desk in Key West and stand at the very spot where momentous decisions were made! And if you need to make any important calls, just pick up the antique phone on the desk - we're pretty sure it's a direct line to the Oval Office.
So come on down and experience the power and prestige of standing near Truman's desk. Just don't blame us if you suddenly feel the urge to start whistling "The Missouri Waltz"!

Thanks Greg M for an excellent tour of the Truman White House and sharing parts of his presidency that we needed to be reminded of. He truly sought change for the better and “the buck stops here “

This was an excellent history lesson and well told. The house is in its original state with many original furnishings. Not only a political history lesson but a Truman family history and house grounds. Well worth. Little bit off the beaten track to find but in a secluded gated community. Easy access and entry.

Wonderful historic property situated on immaculately landscaped grounds. Very tranquil. Loved the entire Truman Annex. Beautiful foliage and architecture all around. Quiet and perfect for walks away from all of the craziness surrounding Duval Street.
