The Truman Home | Harry S Truman National Historic Site

After Harry Truman finished his presidency, he returned home to Independence, Missouri.

I was listening to the local public radio station a few years ago. The grandson of Harry Truman had written a book and the radio station was interviewing him. The grandson told a story about how one day a vehicle had broken down in front of the Truman home. Former President Truman saw it and invited the owner to use his phone to call a tow truck. While they were waiting for the tow truck, former President Truman and the owner were on the porch visiting and having a nice chat. Eventually, the tow truck arrived. As the vehicle owner was leaving, he thanked Mr. Truman and said, "Please don't take this the wrong way, but you look just like that S.O.B. Harry Truman!"
