As the summer comes to a close, your Toyota dealer knows you may be looking for one last adventure on the Missouri roads. If you’re hoping for some beautiful scenery as well as a glimpse of American history, the Truman National Historic Site may be just the tour for you.

President Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of the United States. His presidency was eventful—he both ordered the desegregation of the American Armed Forces, and he was president during the bombing of Japan at the end of World War II. He managed to have both the lowest presidential approval records to date as well as the highest for any president up until 1991, all within his years in office. Less is commonly known about his private life, which is why your Toyota dealer knows that the Truman National Historic Site is an intriguing destination.

Truman’s home is located at the site, and there are daily tours available to see how he lived, as well as to explore the historical significance of his presidency. Your Toyota dealer has learned that the Oral History Project is also accessible here, which recorded the personal observations and experiences of people who knew both Truman and his wife, Bess. While there is now extensive conservation work being done on the home to preserve it for future generations, there is still plenty to see and experience at this site.

Take it from your Toyota dealer—there’s never been a better time to hit the road and take in some history. Just a short drive from St Louis, the Truman national Historic Site is sure to be a fascinating trip into the past of one of our better remembered presidents.
