Truman used it as a base of operationsfor several extendedstays during his presidency. The house, now a museum, is dedicated to the history that took placehere: Not just Truman, but Thomas Edison and presidents Taft, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Carter, and Clintonall spent time here, and several key summits took place here as well.
