Caren and I went to the Truman Library yesterday in Independence, MO. We both really enjoyed it - good exhibits, films and audio which you could do at your own pace. Harry Truman was president during some turbulent and interesting times - the end of WWII and the A and H bombs, the Marshall plan, the Korean war and the firing of MacArthur; the beginning of the Cold War, Joseph McCarthy and his witchhunt... There was also a lot of nostalgia related to the fifties.

Mother would probably love to visit there...one of her favorite biographies is Harry Truman.
