Library Hopping

Independence Missouri, the hometown of Harry S. Truman.  We did have time for 3 games of backgammon and a walk before they opened.

I can see the similarity.  He could have used your help in 1945!   Truman surely took care of business and by the looks of things never slept his first year in office.  We spent 3 hours here, very interesting and great documentary films.
Truman's Oval Office, all the presidential libraries have replica's and the furnishings used while in office and their dishes.  Perks of being president.

Harry and Bess, their daughter and her husband are layed to rest here at the library.  Harry lived 20 years after he left office, he worked here on the grounds and established a teaching research center.

Honey, stop the car...too late and too fast, this one got away, doesn't look like they had good stuff?

Abilene Kansas, the childhood home of Dwight D Eisenhower.  The home has all the original furnishings and he lived here 20 years prior to going to West Point.  His Dad worked at the local creamery and then for the electric company.  He had 5 brothers. 

We still like "Ike"

Actually this is all I saw, John toured the inside and I did the home and then we compared notes, we are never going to get out of Kansas if we don't get going.
