💬 What Visitors Say

💬Buy tickets online to save 5% on admission prices, which is especially valuable for the VIP White Glove Tour ($600) or combination packages ($80-90).
💬Combine your visit with other Key West attractions through available packages that include Old Town Trolley Tour, Conch Tour Train, and Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum for better value than visiting separately.
💬Plan for approximately 40 minutes for the standard walking tour. The modest, middle-class character of the home and furnishings makes it feel intimate and authentic rather than grand, so expect a more personal historical experience than typical presidential museums.
💡The tour guides are highly knowledgeable and frequently share interesting off-script details about Truman's presidency and daily life. Engaging with your guide will enhance the experience beyond the standard exhibits.
💡After touring the house, walk through the Truman Annex to see beautifully restored naval base buildings that have been converted into condos, extending your historical exploration of the property.
