THE “F5” (FASCINATING FACTOID FOR FANATICAL FLORIDIANS) –

 

 

It was November 1946 and the man needed a break. Acting on advice from his doctor for a “warm vacation,” President Harry Truman arrived in Key West and apparently had the time of his d*mn life because he kept going back.

 

Truman spent 175 days of his presidency at the Little White House, a beautiful home originally built in 1890 as an officer’s quarters for the island’s U.S. naval station. Cabinet members and foreign officials were regular visitors for fishing trips and poker games. It wasn’t all fun and games; the president often held important meetings and conducted government business from there. Documents issued from there read "The White House, US Naval Station, Key West, Florida."
