Truman Library and Museum

Today we traveled to Independence, MO, hometown of Give 'em Hell Harry Truman. We wanted to visit the Truman presidential museum and library. The boyhood home was a mile away from the museum and run by a different outfit; we decided not to bother to go see it. There was a fair amount of information on the atomic bomb decision, his being the first national leader to recognize Israel as a nation, creation of the United Nations, the Marshall plan (by his Sec'y of State), and the Berlin Airlift.

We stayed at the Campus RV Park, 406 S. Pleasant, Independence 64050, 888-254-3750.
