“Great historic spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We really enjoyed the short informal tour and a visit to the gift shop. This part of the island is very pretty & shouldn't be missed!

“A wonderful experience.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012 via mobile

A true history experience. The tour provided the history of the house, built by the Navy in 1890 - to it's use by President Truman (1946 to 1952) and visits by subsequent presidents. It was an eye opener how President Truman lived and operated in the 'Little White House' during his Key West. A very worthwhile tour.

“Really cool if you like History”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

Tour was well done. House is in great shape and has been restored to the Truman period with the actual furnishing and decor of the time. Can't take pictures inside. Not sure why not. Maybe security since this place can still be used by our Presidents. Bugs me since us taxpayers own it.
