Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
This exhibit includes exhibits that place Truman's presidency in historical context. While often recognized as one of the most successful Presidents owing to his leadership at a challenging moment in American history, the exhibit acknowledges Truman's low approval rating at the time he left office owing to the Korean War and offers context for how historical interpretations change over time. The exhibit also offers a chance to watch a video of Truman's funeral and internment from almost the precise location where it was filmed.
