The Little White House - Key West

We had tickets for a schooner ride out to the Mule Keys for kayaking and to a nearby reef for snorkeling; however, the winds were in the 20s and the trip was cancelled.  As a result, we went to tour The Little White House which is the presidential retreat on Key West.  The Little White House was built in 1890 and is located on land which was once U.S. Navy property.  It was originally the home of the naval base commander and paymaster.  President Harry S. Truman was the president who most frequented Key West.  He made 11 visits and occupied the building for 175 days of his presidency.  The original furnishings used by the Truman's fill the living quarters and the building has been restored to its appear as it did during the Truman presidency.
