The Truman Little White House is a 9000 square foot historic house museum. It was built in 1890 as naval officers housing and served as command headquarters for the Submarine Base. Presidents William Taft, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton used it as a retreat, summit site and under Harry Truman the functioning winter White House of the United States.
The site is 85 to 95% original furnishings purchased by the navy for use by President Truman. Fully narrated docent led tours are offered every 15 to 20 minutes throughout the day. Two rooms of free exhibits are available for those on limited time. One acre of tropical gardens surround the house and replicate the gardens of 1949 when President Truman was using the site.
