Park activities in Lamar, Missouri

Located at 1009 Truman Street in Lamar, Missouri, the Harry S Truman Birthplace State Historic Site is a museum and park that attracts visitors from all over the country. This site is where the only U.S. president born in Missouri began his life, and visitors can explore the small frame house where Truman was born. The furnishings in the house reflect the style of a typical western Missouri home during Truman's time. In addition to exploring the birthplace of President Truman, visitors can also purchase Cool Parks gear to commemorate their trip to one of Missouri's State Parks. Please note that the site may be temporarily closed due to weather, stewardship activities, or maintenance, so it is recommended to check the Park and Site Status Map for updates.
