INDEPENDENCE, MO— Harry S Truman National Historic Site will hold a public Meeting on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, to present the Harry S Truman National Historic Site draft Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. As part of the planning process, the National Park Service is seeking public comment on the draft plan. Your participation is important to our planning process.An interdisciplinary team, including park and regional staff, identified the key park experiences and evaluated park areas to determine which areas would be evaluated for accessibility needs. The team then developed implementation strategies for improving the accessibility at each location. The plan will guide changes to the way existing facilities, services, and programs are provided in multiple locations throughout Harry S Truman National Historic Site by defining what barriers limit accessibility and providing recommendations on how they can be modified or removed to increase accessibility for all users.
Harry S Truman National Historic Site would like your input on the draft plan. A public open house will be held on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, and will include a brief presentation describing the planning process and general park accessibility, followed by the opportunity for you to ask questions and share your perspectives on the draft plan. Your input continues to be important to the planning process and will help us as we work to ensure Harry S Truman National Historic Site is more accessible to all visitors. The National Park Service values your interest in Harry S Truman National Historic Site, and we look forward to your participation in this planning process.
