Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum explores the life, presidency and legacy of the thirty-third president in Independence.
Exhibitions provide historical context for the major decisions and events of his administration.
Check current museum hours, admission and exhibition notices before visiting. Research-room access follows separate procedures from the public museum. The photograph shows an earlier exterior view rather than the current exhibition installation. Allow time for the museum’s interpretation and distinguish this destination from the separately managed Truman Home downtown and the family farm in Grandview. Group visits and special programs require their own planning.
