Founded by Barbara Marshall.
Almost two years ago Ken took
me to the museum for my birthday.
It is great place to visit! I wanted to
see the Barbie exhibit and did I
have fun going down memory lane.

President's home. Welcome
to The Harry S Truman Home,
located in Independence, Missouri.
This is also my home town and state!
Mr. Truman's family moved to town
in 1890. He met his sweethart Bess
down the street from his house and
next door to his cousin's house. They
went to Sunday school and school
together. Harry and Bess were
married in June 1919 and their
daughter was born in 1924. Both are
buried in the courtyard at the Harry S
Truman Library which is also located
in Independence.
Visitor's to the home will take a guided
tour, on the tour they will see artifacts
from the family and get a glimpse into
