About Harry S. Truman National Historic Site

This National Park Service site preserves the home where Harry S. Truman lived for much of his life, along with other places tied to him and his family around Kansas City, Missouri. Its main parts are the Truman Home in Independence and the Truman Farm Home in Grandview. The site also includes the home of Truman's cousins, the Nolands, and two bungalows that belonged to Bess Truman's brothers. Visitors can take guided tours of the Truman Home, which require a same-day ticket picked up at the visitor center. The park holds a large collection of family artifacts and offers online exhibits, oral histories, and a virtual tour of parts of the house.
