Challenge 2: The Origin of Common Sense

Harry S Truman National Historic Site

A visit to the Truman Farm in Grandview will help you understand why the land was so important to Harry Truman and his family.

Venture to the Truman Family Farm and discover where Harry received all of his “common sense”. Learn about life on the farm where he developed a strong work ethic and integrity that carried into his time at the White House. The farm grounds are open daily for self-guided tours year-round from sunrise to sunset. Read more about future park ranger tours of the farm and farm house here.
