The Truman home in Lamar, Missouri

Harry Truman spent the first eleven months of his life in this house at 1009 Kentucky Avenue in Lamar, Missouri. The city later changed the street name to Truman Avenue in honor of the president. The home is on the National Register of Historic Places and is now a Missouri State Historic Site. The furnishings are different from those used by the Truman family, but the home itself remains much like it was when young Harry lived there, without electricity or running water.
