What it's like

The Harry S. Truman Little White House stands on Front Street in Key West. President Harry S. Truman used it as a retreat, and the house keeps the look of his working visits to the island.

A visit centers on a guided tour of the house, followed by time in the gift shop. Front Street sits in the old town, where you can walk to the island's other historic houses, courtyards, and gardens.

Good to know

  • Guided tours are the way to see inside the house.
  • Old town is walkable, so the house is easy to reach on foot along with other nearby sights.
