Little White House Opens 2008 Presidential Exhibit
Truman White House, Key West Florida
Truman Little White House – Key West, FL.
What do Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr and Gloria LaRiva have in common? They are all running for President along with John McCain, Barack Obama and a host of others!
With less than a month away until the general election, the Harry S Truman Little White House, Florida’s only presidential museum, proudly opens a new exhibit entitled “Every Four Years”. Learn about the US Electoral College as well as see a large collection of pro and con presidential buttons used by Democrats and Republicans to encourage the selection of their candidate for President in the 2008 election.
The 2008 Florida ballot features 13 candidates for president. Most of these as well as some that qualified in other states are featured in this 2008 election exhibit.
Also for your enjoyment are a number of rare items from our museum collections for the 1948 presidential election when four major candidates , Harry Truman, Thomas Dewey, Henry Wallace and Strom Thurman , and a number of lesser known and hopeful candidates sought the highest office of the land. A smaller 1952 Dwight Eisenhower exhibit is also featured.
This free exhibit runs October 8 until December 1, 2008
Sounds like a great place for a family field trip. Gosh I didn’t realize there were other candidates on the ballot! Yikes!
