Guided by Truman Little White House Docent Rick Warmbold, guests will delve into the fascinating stories behind Truman’s eleven Key West visits. These weren’t just leisurely getaways; they were working vacations that shaped decisions affecting the nation and beyond. Discover why Truman’s team claimed they achieved more in the tranquil ambiance of Key West than in bustling Washington, D.C.
