KEY WEST BY WHEELCHAIR
After breakfast, we visit Truman's Little White House where wheelchair-accessible tours are given of the property and its grounds, built for the military and used by President Harry Truman as a working vacation home.
Our guide, Tom, is engaging and very knowledgeable about the simple yet elegant white wooden frame home that helped Truman relax beneath the splendor of spreading banyans.
All of the furniture and decor are original or restored to their original appearance, from the 1940s style chairs on the sun porch to the lounge era cocktail shakers at the bar to Truman's beloved poker table, where the powerbrokers of the day whiled away the evenings with cards and cigar smoke.
