Truman Little White House

Built in 1890, this historic property served as Key West’s naval command headquarters during the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II. In 1946, it became the winter White House for President Harry S. Truman and a site for Cold War response by later presidents. Today, the Truman Little White House is a living Key West museum that has undergone a 2-million-dollar restoration project. Tour the interior of this classic Key West home, get a glimpse into Cold War politics and the Island’s naval history, and walk the nearly one acre of tropical foliage and trees within the Truman Little White House Botanical Gardens.
