Description

Built in 1890, the Little White House was a naval command centre until the early 20th Century. In 1918, the famous inventor Thomas Edison lived there for several months as he worked on new weapons to contribute to the war effort.

It was in 1946 that Harry S Truman, 33rd president of the United States, fell for the charms of the house located at the very tip of the United States. This home went on to be the meeting place for several important political gatherings, particularly concerning the Marshall Plan and the beginning of the Cold War. The President retreated to this little house to rest, particularly in the Winter. Here he would make the most of the tropical Floridan climate, enjoying fishing trips and spending time with the locals. The Little White House kept its name as a result of the President's fondness for the place.

With this guided tour, you will have the opportunity to discover the intricacies of the life of President Truman and his time spent at the little white house. You may also make the most of a chance to explore the house's botanical gardens at your leisure.
