Visits to Presidential Sites

33rd President 1945-1953 Truman sites we've visited: Independence, Missouri, has Truman's home, Presidential Museum & Library, and his gravesite. He and Bess moved into this house at 219 N. Delaware in 1919 when they married. They still lived there when Harry died in 1972. Truman had his first job at this drug store. The Jackson County Courthouse in Independence is where Truman served as an administrative judge, beginning in 1922. He became a senator in 1934. Truman never received a college or law degree. A few artifacts from a 2023 exhibit at the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This car was built for Truman but became most associated with Eisenhower. The car can be found in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Truman's plane is kept in the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. The grounds of the Truman Presidential Museum and Library are quite beautiful. Truman enlisted in the army in 1917 and served in France. Other m
