[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum - Lots of pics

Posted: 9/6/2017 11:52:03 AM EDT

I was recently in Kansas City and decided to go by the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library. https://www.trumanlibrary.org/

If you are in the area I highly recommend it and the World War I Museum.

I thought it was nice museum.

Well worth my time to visit.

Thanks, looks like a great museum. He's one of the few dems I even come close to admiring.

There was probably 50 people or so in there.

I got there when the doors opened.

I have been there many times.

I used to live in the neighborhood directly behind it.

I was on leave from the Army when he died and saw all the activity at the Library for the ceremony.

I also remember as a kid seeing the glow of the Secret Service surveillance monitors of the house across the street from his home.

When the National Park Service took over the Truman home I got the full tour of the entire house. This included all of the areas not included in the official tours.

I was a Police officer then and a bomb threat was called in. We were searching to see if there was a bomb!
