This humble, two-story building was constructed in 1890 on the U.S. Navy base. It served as the home for the commander and briefly housed President William Taft and Thomas Edison early in the 20th century. President Harry S Truman spent his winter vacation here in 1946. He enjoyed it so much he returned ten more times. During those 175 days, it was called the Little White House. Eisenhower and Kennedy also used these accommodations during their presidencies. Plus, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton stayed here after leaving office. You can feel the history as you walk through the museum on a guided tour.
