We visited Harry Truman's house in Independence, MO. He wasn't home. They don't allow photos inside so enjoy this snapshot of the exterior. The tour was informative.

Decorating away 😛 it takes time to find the right pieces to put it all together 🤦🏼♀️ I guess, great practice to test my patience 😂

“You, more than any other man, have saved Western civilization.” These words were spoken from Winston Churchill to President Truman. This morning I had the privilege to tour this humble presidents house (the second presidents house I’ve been to after General Washington). I need to learn more about this man as he seems like a truly extraordinary man I know little about. He was the last US President that we’ve had who had no college degree - but by the age of nine he had read the entire collection that was found in the Independence public library. He was a man who had greatness thrust upon him as he had an 19th century upbringing, but had to move America forward in the 20th century. The tour of his home was remarkable because the entirety of the content was historically accurate as it was donated to the US people upon the death of Truman’s wife. He inherited the home when he got married and lived there his whole life outside of his time as president. We weren’t allowed to take pictures inside, but a truly humble home. Truman could have lived anywhere after being president, but retired back to his quiet home in Independence with the routine of going for a walk each morning and reading a book. I also got to visit his grave site. I will have to do further study of this president and all he accomplished from his humble upbringing as a farmer all the way to the whites house during World War II.

Did you know there are over 57,000 artifacts in our collection? These artifacts are from the Truman Home, Truman Farm, and other related buildings associated with the Truamns. They range from Harry's iconic hats and canes to mundane everyday items like old soap and paper clips. There are also the strange: toy googly eye glasses, a sculpture of a deer head, a Victorian ink well in the shape of a devil's head, prismatic reading glasses, a devil bow tie, and a hair piece that dates to the Gates era, just to name a few.

Even presidents have grocery cards! Today Mr. and Mrs. Davis brought in this grocery card from Store
#23 which was either a Kroger or A&P. It is from September 1955 and under occupation Harry identified as "Army of the unemployed".

From the Collection: This demitasse is one of a set of twelve given to President Truman in appreciation for his assistance to the German people by the Mitterteich Chinaware Factory of Bavaria in 1951. Truman initiated the Berlin airlift in June 1948 after Soviet forces cut supply routes for goods to and from West Berlin. The airlift successfully delivered
2.3 million tons of supplies to the area over one year.
