About This Blog

Thank you for visiting the website home for Harry S Truman National Historic Site! We would like to use this blog feature to share with you some news, interesting pieces of trivia, photographs, documents, and other things we think you may find useful and fun. We thank you for allowing us the honor of preserving these special places. On this page, too, we will share updates on the park's forthcoming new visitor services center and administrative headquarters! We're excited about this project, which will serve visitors for generations to come.
