Even today, in 2021, we see that Harry S Truman is as relevant in our world as he was from 1945 to 1953. We are especially pleased to begin offering services at the Truman Farm this summer. To understand Truman, you need to understand his life on his family’s farm. We thank the community in Grandview for their patience and support. Park staff are looking forward to engaging with our wonderful visitors and seeing them again.”  

All programs and services that the park offers are free, and all are welcome.
