About this place

The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum explores the life of a Missouri public servant who became president at the end of World War II and helped shape the early Cold War. The museum is a major stop for visitors interested in postwar America, civil rights, NATO, Korea, and the decisions of the Truman presidency.

Trivia

Truman maintained an office at the library after leaving the White House, making the site unusually connected to his post-presidential life.
