The Harry S Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri, does an excellent job of portraying American history from 1900 to 1953. In addition to the highlights of Truman’s early political career, it focuses on the end of WWI, the Truman and Marshall plans, the Korean conflict, the McCarthy communism accusations and his Fair Deal program. Truman worked at the library from 1957 until his death in 1972. Then the former president was buried in the courtyard.
