The Harry S Truman Farm

Twenty-two-year-old Harry Truman gave up his $100 a month bank salary to go work on the family farm in 1906. The farmhouse, with no plumbing or electricity, stood in stark contrast to the bright lights of Kansas City. On the farm, Harry had little privacy, sharing the seven-room house with his grandmother, parents, sister and brother. The farm house brings you back to this time as you tour the farm and get a taste of Harry Truman’s lifestyle in the early 1900’s!
