President Harry S. Truman Little White House

111 Front Street Naval Air Station

Key West, Florida 33040


In 1890, what is now the Little White House, Quarters A and B were built for the Navy Commandant and Paymaster.  Quarters A and B was a two-family residence that was used by the Navy until 1911 when the house was turned into a single-family dwelling that would soon be used by President Harry S. Truman.  Truman's first visit to the Little White House was in 1946.  He spent a total of 11 working vacations in Key West during his presidency and returned 5 more times after his presidency.  The Harry S. Truman Little White House is the only Presidential Museum in the State of Florida and has been fully restored to its original 1949 furnishings.

President Truman made many trips to the Little White House in Key West, Florida.  Here are a record of his logs provided as a courtesy from the Harry S. Truman Little White House Collection and the Harry S. Truman Library ..
