Introducing In-Depth Articles
We have created an Articles section on the Henry County Museum website for those interested in a deeper understanding of history.
At 506 East Bodine Avenue in Clinton, there’s a house with an unlikely claim to history. For a brief stretch in 1905, that address was home to the family of a young Kansas City bank clerk who would one day become the 33rd President of the United States.
The story of Harry S Truman and Clinton, Missouri, is one that local people debated for decades, and with good reason: the details are a little complicated, and the truth turned out to be more interesting than the legend.
