Park Harry S Truman National Historic Site Harry S Truman lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue from 1945 to 1953, but 219 North Delaware Street was always his home. The Queen Anne-style house built by his wife Bess’s grandfather is the centerpiece of the Harry S Truman National Historic Site. The site also includes the two homes his brothers occupied, the Noland home where his aunt and cousins lived, and the Harry S Truman Farm Home in Grandview, Missouri.
