Dwight D. Eisenhower and Harry S. Truman grew up within 150 miles of one another in eastern Kansas and western Missouri. They took quite different paths in life, but they eventually served successively as U.S. presidents in the years following World War II.
Join Tim Rives, deputy director at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library & Museum, and Sam Rushay, supervisory archivist at the Truman Library, as they discuss the lives, times, accomplishments, and legacies of these two remarkable presidents of America’s heartland.
The program concludes with appearances by Harry and Ike, themselves. Meet the Heartland presidents and attend their 2012 press conference on the front steps of the Truman Library.
Talkin’ Truman programs are offered each Second Saturday at 11 a.m. The program is included with Museum admission; seating is limited and first-come, first-served. Museum exhibits and programs are free to members.
