A must 'do' while you are in Key West!! We had a wonderful tour guide, Steve, and our own 'private' tour because we went early. Enjoyed it very much and recommend for all ages!!

We definately learned a lot on the tour and it provided a good look back in time. My... More

I heard good things, but I did not expect to so thoroughly enjoy the tour. History tours come alive with the right guide. I did not expect a presidential retreat to be sure a normal dwelling. I like this place.

I loved this museum. The history is interesting both of Truman and the actual house. Ann, our tour guide was amazingly well informed. They were even having a 100th birthday party for Harry Truman that night. What a fun idea!
