The farm home where future president Harry S. Truman spent fourteen years of his youth and early adulthood is preserved today in Grandview, Missouri. His experiences on the farm forever shaped his character and prepared him for the many challenges that he faced as 33rd President of the United States.
"...riding one of these plows all day, day after day, gives one time to think. I've settled all the ills of mankind in one way and another while riding along seeing that each animal pulled his part of the load."
