Presidents’ Weekend meant more than a Monday holiday for Key West’s Harry S. Truman Little White House.
The presidential museum — and local residence of President Truman during 11 working vacations in Key West from 1945 to 1953 — hosted a series of special events on all three days.
Truman’s grandson, actor Clifton Truman Daniel, twice performed the one-man show “Give ‘Em Hell, Harry!” on the museum lawn to sold-out crowds.
The show, written by Samuel Gallu, premiered in 1975, but made its Key West debut only last year.
The museum also hosted a panel discussion by several presidential descendants, who discussed the importance of bipartisanship. The annual descendants’ event is the largest Presidents’ Day Weekend gathering of presidential descendants in the country.
The holiday weekend also included a family-friendly picnic on the museum grounds.
