In 1934 Key West was the poorest city in Florida. President Roosevelt, under the WPA program, had the Key West Aquarium built which is still in use today.

It was a time when pirates and indians roamed the shores looking for fortune and battling for territory. It was a place when human bones lay scattered in the sand - a vivid symbol of the passion and determination of those who came first. Cayo Hueso or Bone Key, was Key West’s first name, deemed so by the first Spanish settlers who discovered the remains on the beach when they arrived. Cayo Hueso, soon became Key West, when English-speaking residents at that time erroneously translated the name.

Throughout its vibrant and colorful past, Key West has undergone many changes and been home to people from all walks of life. But perhaps none with such a rich influence as that of the Cuban people. In the 1860’s, Cuban Cigar makers flocked to the island to work and sell their sought-after product. Their presence on the island made such an impact that Key West was soon referred to as “Cigar City USA”.

Today, Key West’s rich Cuban heritage is still apparent throughout the island. Casa Cayo Hueso y Habana Historeum offers a unique journey to that era for all who visit. Located in the heart of historic Mallory Square, the Historeum is housed inside an antiquated brick warehouse that dates back to 1879.

Witness the skill and mastery of the craftsmen who meticulously hand-roll authentic Cuban cigars—see for yourself what makes a Cuban Cigar so extraordinary. View beautiful and intriguing art and memorabilia and learn more interesting facts about the original Cayo Hueso. Delight in the delicacies of Cuba and savor the true flavors that became a lasting part of Key West. A visit to the Casa Cayo Hueso y Habana Historeum is fun and entertaining for people of all ages.

Visited by Presidents, dignitaries, royalty, Prime Ministers and an array of prestigious people, the Harry S. Truman Little White House in Key West holds a special place in the history of the United States. It was here that President Truman came in search of a place to rest and relax. When our 33rd President arrived he discovered much more than a peaceful island hideaway, he found a place he’d like to call home.

Built in 1890 as quarters for the Naval Base Commander and Paymaster, the Little White House took its place in history early on. In 1912, President William Taft visited the house and in 1918, Thomas Edison lived there for several months as he worked on inventing new weapons for the war effort.

In 1946, the Little White House became Truman’s winter home and he proceeded to stay for 175 days. Always at work, the President held various meetings in the home, met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, worked on the Marshall Plan and the Truman Doctrine and continually attended to his duties while enjoying the magnificent setting. A setting so magnificent, in fact, that Truman was known to spend an afternoon in town or out on the water fishing with friends. It's said that he was friendly with the locals and fit right into the island lifestyle.

Although several other United States Presidents visited the Little White House in the years that followed, it ultimately was named for Harry Truman because of his deep affection and adoration for the home and Key West.

Today, visitors from all over the world are able to get a glimpse into Truman’s life and times, see where he and Bess entertained guests, where critical meetings were held and how the business of our government was conducted in this lovely historic building.

In 1987, The state of Florida recognized the Little White House as a state historic site, guaranteeing permanent protection for Florida’s only Presidential Museum.
