Touring Key West's Little White House

Wandering away from the Hemingway House, further up Whitehead street and Caroline Street, you will find the entrance to the Little White House Key West. Before coming across the building, you have to walk down this street flanked on both sides by some of the most elegant and beautiful houses that can be found in Key West.



The Harry S. Truman Little White House is complete with the original 1949 furniture, the original 7 bedrooms and President Truman’s own personal poker table that he would use to play informal matches against members of his staff. The estate is surrounded by a large garden, perfect for casual strolls as well as serving as a beautiful backdrop for wedding ceremonies. Only a few minutes away lies the Truman Annex Beach where the president himself would go for a few hours to soak up the sun.



 



Guided tours are available and are strongly recommended as you are given a deeper insight into a piece of American History and Harry S. Truman’s stays in Key West, where he gained the nickname “Truman the Human". Tours of each room of the house are provided, alongside an informational video that highlights his time spent in Key West. The Little White House is worth the time and money as you are introduced into one of Key West’s dearest friends and one of America’s most popular presidents.
