Part 2

     We went to Independence, MO to learn about Harry S. Truman. Before we went to The Harry S. Truman National Historic Site we saw this gentleman from Pioneer Trails Adventures who gives tours of Independence. He was quite the character. It was fun. Then we went to the visitor center before heading to the Truman residence.

There were skeletons all over the buildings.

This line was for early voting. It just kept getting longer as we circled them.

    The Turman house only allows for 8 people at a time, and while tickets are free, they have to be obtained at the visitor center. The Noland house across the street had no such limits so Lizzy stayed with the younger boys while the rest of us went on the tour. 

     It was fascinating. I knew very little about President Truman, but I left with a great respect for him and a desire to know more. I will have to read some books on his life. It was a lovely day.
