If you think a museum date sounds boring, think again! Check out the options below and see whether one of them is up your alley. Recently, the hubby and I visited the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum, which honors the life of our 33rd president. We learned so much about Truman at this museum. He led our nation during one of the most tumultuous times in our history—punctuated by WWII and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, along with an assassination attempt on his life. He had many different jobs, including senator, bank clerk, farmer, county judge, haberdashery owner and captain in the National Guard, not to mention vice president and president. In high school, he worked at Clinton’s Drug Store on Independence Square, which is now Clinton’s Soda Fountain. One of the most interesting facts we learned is that Truman’s middle name is just the letter S. His parents couldn’t decide which of his grandfathers to honor—Shipp or Solomon—so they compromised and shortened it to S. Truman, his wife, Bess, and his daughter, Margaret, are all buried in the courtyard at the museum. Pro tip: You can check out four free passes to the museum at your nearby Mid-Continent Public Library at a savings of up to $12/person!
