The tour of this house is mostly involved with the ground floor--you are not able to go upstairs. You also aren't able to take pictures inside or step on the grass. Everything in the house is origina… Full review by JohnRegoPark

Amazing step back into time and the history of one of America's most humble presidents. Up close, rather than behind glass, views of items the Trumans actually used with descriptions by a knowledgea… Full review by P9300PDmichaelp
How long does the tour of Truman's home last and is it part of the Truman walking trail? Thank you for any help.

The tour is about 30 minutes. You have to get tickets, which are free, at the visitor center which is about 5 blocks away from the home. Then you can either walk or drive to the home. Tours run every 30 minutes but they only allow about 8 people per time slot so depending on how busy it is, there may be a wait. It was definitely neat to see as the inside of the home is exactly as it was when Bess died. Very interesting to see it kind of frozen in time right down to his car still sitting in the garage! As far as it being part of the walking trail, I'm not sure as we did not do that. I'm guessing though since you need tickets, you may go by it but not get the tour.
Where do you buy tickets and how much per person please?

Tickets are Free! First Go to-223 north Main Street in Independence about 5 blocks away is where you get the tickets- also restrooms and gift shop Get your tickets early and proceed to Truman’s Home. A ranger will meet you outside the locked gate. No photos once you pass through the gate. Have a great visit and don’t forget to visit the Noland House across the street where his cousins lived. Have a sit and watch an interview of the Truman’s by daughter Margaret on tv.
What time does the visitor center open on Saturday?

I think it is 9 am but I would call and ask to make sure. Also tickets are required and they only offer so many and they sell out quite often. I would see if they will sell tickets early. It …
I think it is 9 am but I would call and ask to make sure. Also tickets are required and they only offer so many and they sell out quite often. I would see if they will sell tickets early. It would save disappointment.
