Extraordinary! The Park Service staff was warm, friendly and enthusiastic! Like a time machine Journey back into history. The experience of visiting his home brought President Truman, and his family back to life. What a Treasure!

A good place to start your Truman tour in Independence. National Park staff is knowledgeable and happy to share info. The movie is short and gets you in the spirit of the times Truman lived in, putting some perspective on his hometown. Various artifacts of his are displayed; a case of his favorite soda, clothing, and several photos are also worth a look. If you would like to tour the Trumans home, tickets must be obtained at the visitors center. The tickets are free but they have a limited amount available each day, get them early.

Really kind of a neat place, the staff is very friendly. You must come down to this Visitor Center before going to the home, get a ticket and sign up for one of the scheduled tours. You cant just show up at the home and go on a tour. Kind of something you learn when you show up.

The best parking is right next to the visitor center! So useful!

Probably the worst visitors center Ive been too. The ranger was not friendly or helpful. She didnt tell us about other parts of the site (Noble Home) that were could visit without a tour ticket. There are no displays about Truman in the visitors center. There is a 12 minute video about Truman and his wife, but thats all its about, nothing about him growing up or his presidency or anything like that, so dont expect that. The gift shop is pretty good. This is probably the smallest visitors center Ive been to and there just wasnt much there and its a ways from the actual home so its hard to find.

Well done library with lots of interesting historical info. Follow the Truman walk from downtown to the library.

This was a side trip but turned out to be a hilight. Enjoyed the history of the Truman presidential residence.

The visitors center is a good place to get information and come in out of the heat while you wait for your tour. The tickets are not available here. However, there is a restroom.

My favorite President, well worth the trip and time. Just an amazing time in our history and they have left it just like President Truman and his wife did when they passed.

Get tickets here for the Truman home tour here.Get cancellation stamp for your national parks passport book here Friendly informative rangers Visited March 2019

Decent park with historic facilities that is needed to enjoy a picnic family fun friends local historic park that has all the amenities that are necessary to enjoy life

Very friendly staff. The home is gorgeous but no pictures can be taken. Everything is in place from when Harry was alive

Lots of information. Entry fee is reasonable. Heard theres about to be some renovations. The grandkids liked the interactive activities on the lower floor.

Dont miss this area or the Truman House. In addition, there is an historic Community Church, LDS, nearby. I shall return for that tour.

Great place, friendly and knowledgeable park rangers, highly recommended!

This is where you go to buy tickets to go to the Harry S Truman home. They have some souvenirs for sale. You can see a short movie before you go to the Truman home.

Not open!!! Due to CoVid

I liked this pretty place, but I feel like they could do more with it. The sign indicating where it is was confusingly placed. I turned in to a little dead-end street next to it before I got the right street. The parking lot and all the grounds seem to be kept in very good shape. Theres an audio tour you can call in to on your cell, which is clever, as otherwise youd just be looking at some locked up buildings and two explanatory signs.

Nice place. Interesting info on Truman

Great

Very interesting. A lot of history

Such helpful rangers. Could not be better!

Not bad. Ranger didnt appear too interested in the location today.Maybe a bad night.

So very interesting. Friendly knowledge staff. Well stocked store containing additional educational items and souvenirs.So much to see in KC about President Harry Truman

Farmhouse surrounded by shopping malls. The original Truman farm was 600 acres.

Had a great time visit Trumans different houses & museum!!

This is a little oasis in a busy area. There is an audio tour but the buildings were closed. If they added a few trashcans and picnic tables it would be an excellent park.

Its a nice spot. Great spot in Missouri in the hometown of the president Harry S Truman.

We loved this site! Awesome history lesson!

A great place to learn about Harry Truman and his Independence, Mo., ties.

Nice place. Lots of things in the gift shop.

Very informative videos, great displays. A great way to learn about America in the post war years.

Park Rangers & staff were friendly and helpful as we asked many questions. Rangers assisted with the Jr Ranger program and offered suggestions for other local tours for our family.

Good location if you like American History. Love to visit any and all National Parks.

Great museum in Missouri - something we need more of in general. But this one is an historical artifact in its own right.

A bit disappointed...no buildings are open for tours, but the compound, though small, is well groomed. The outdoor buildings (outhouse and small barn) were overgrown and falling apart. We were expecting to spend a few hours here, but were done within 15 minutes as there wasnt a whole lot to see.

Very courteous staff good film tours could be set up better

A good reminder of the strong roots of one of our Nations great Presidents, Harry Truman!

Plenty of information and Truman related stuff, good and central in the Truman district. Make it your first stop if youre trailing Truman!

Its odd that you have to go to the visitor center to buy tickets and the go across town to the home for the tour.

I just went through the 360 camera self tour on the photos and it looks so amazing!

Very informative!

The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful

President Truman house was very interesting. It depicted a Upper middle class family of that time

A good spot to start if visiting Independence, or want to know more about sites around the area about Harry Truman.

Always a good experience visiting the national park centers.

Interesting visit

Get your Junior Ranger on!

Need to buy tickets early.
