Truman&#8217;s<\/strong> winter residence. Therefore, visiting the only former presidential residence in Key West, Florida, is like an exciting journey into <strong>post-war America<\/strong>. In the 1940s, world-changing decisions were often made in this house.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumanlittlewhitehouse.org\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.trumanlittlewhitehouse.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harry S. Truman Little White House<\/a><\/strong> in Key West is Florida&#8217;s only presidential house &#8211; and a fascinating place for anyone who wants to experience American history up close. The 33rd US President regularly used the historic winter residence between 1946 and 1952 as a winter home and seat of government. What many don&#8217;t know: Other US presidents like Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Clinton later used the house for confidential meetings and retreats.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour, which takes place every 20 minutes, is a must. Amusing and well-informed guides have many details ready on the tour through the house. You can see the original furniture, <strong>Truman&#8217;s poker table<\/strong>, and his bed.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">President Kennedy at the Harry S Truman Little White House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors can explore the lovingly preserved wooden house on <strong>guided tours<\/strong>. Original furniture, historical documents, and Truman&#8217;s personal belongings provide an authentic picture of political everyday life away from the White House in Washington. Exciting anecdotes make the tour a highlight &#8211; not just for history enthusiasts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two short films provide information about the importance of the former naval officer quarters and about the meetings, conferences, and decisive moments of history in this house. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/keys\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2826\">Florida Keys<\/a> played a role in many political issues in South and Central America. <strong>President Kennedy<\/strong> used the building during the Cuban Missile Crisis. After touring the house, the surrounding botanical gardens, covering about 0.4 hectares, invite you for a walk and enchant with many tropical plants.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Harry S.
