The Little White House

Harry Truman spent 175 days in Key West, some while President and some after. The house is a wonderful southern style home with verandas that wrap both 1st and second floors. Our guide was a charming 74 year old native who had met Truman when he was selling newspapers near the naval base. We walked to the house through a gated area that had really beautiful plantation style homes and smartly manicured lawns. That evening we stayed at the hotel to see the sunset and eat on the beach. The sunset was beautiful. For more pictures visit my flicker
