  A fabulous museum! You learn quite a lot about Truman. The replica Oval Office is very well done. While the seasonal gallery was interesting as it was about Truman’s family. The mini activities spread throughout were also fun. Honestly, If you enjoy history, there’s no reason you wouldn’t like this museum. To conclude, it should take under two hours to explore. This is assuming you decide to skip the documentaries. Also, be sure to buy items at the gift shop as they’re relatively cheap and support the museum.

  My fourth Presidential Library and Museum and this one certainly did not disappoint. Excellent exhibits, and a very nice central garden where the Trumans are buried. Simple, beautiful and peaceful. The museum does an excellent job of telling the Truman story without try to gloss over the side of his personality that often drew criticism. The library and museum are owned and operated by the U.S. Federal Government and administered under the National Archives and Records Administration. There is also a private non profit group that promotes Truman research through grants. This group is privately funded. From my experience these government operated libraries are very well managed. Like the National Park Service one of the bright spots of our government operations.

  I am a major history buff and love coming to places like this. Feel of history in actually is a very good one to come to. The display, the movies, the theaters and everything on the inside or really informative. It's really kind of incredible to see this portion of History brought forward. It really was a crucial time. Well worth your time if you're in Kansas City. Don't miss walking out into the courtyard, it's worth a stroll back there.

  The Truman Library is a must see for anyone traveling to Kansas City. The exhibits are always a treat and the staff are friendly and eager to answer questions. The only negative about this wonderful museum is that it is located in independence. A place where the police department’s deplorable behavior is well documented and reaches all the way to the chief of police. The NAACP issued a Missouri travel warning because of cities like independence. I had a friend who used to work the graveyard shift and one morning when he was driving home he saw traffic backed up in front of him which he thought was an accident. When he turned around to avoid this, a police car came racing after him. He stopped, and the cop came charging out of his car gun drawn screaming obscenities and commands to get out. It turned out it was a DWI checkpoint but the behavior of the cop in the situation was not appropriate. When a superior arrived, they let my friend go without so much as an apology. My friend’s dad was a police officer in another community, so he gave the incident the benefit of the doubt and did not pursue it but the way that cop behaved was completely out of line. Independence seems to employ a lot of young, inexperienced cops who are trying to live out their 80’s style action movie fantasies. The city seems to use Ferguson, Missouri as their model for how to run a city and police department.
  
  Do visit the Truman Library but it’s best not to linger long in independence.
