Presidential history in Independence!

Yes, he was the 33rd President
of the United States

Our beautiful Truman Library is evolving and in recognition of the 75th anniversary of his presidency, the Truman Library and Truman Library Institute have developed a momentous plan to use Truman’s life and legacy to inform, inspire, educate, and engage a 21st-century audience at an increasingly critical time in our nation’s history.

Yes, the library itself will be closed for almost a year but the research library, Truman Home, Visitors Center on the Independence Square are still open during library renovations. Woodstock Inn owner Kim Morgan can happily help you create a satisfying historical tour of the sites of the 33rd president of the United States.

Getting Fit in the Fall 2019

A Healthy Week at
Woodstock Inn Bed and Breakfast
Oct. 27-Nov 2

You asked, we have organized a great week of fitness and fun at Woodstock Inn B&B, Independence’s international bed and breakfast. At Woodstock Inn Bed and Breakfast each room has a European theme, and we love to draw people from all over the United States and the world. For this first ever healthy week at Woodstock, we have extended a special invitation to our UK friends to join us for a week of music and some country western fun. It’s a week of getting on track in advance of the holidays, and taking a little time for you. “Get fit and flexible in an environment committed to bringing physical, mental, and spiritual balance to your life.” That is the mission of our guest instructors at Studio on Main. Also, we will have instructors for boot camp and dance. This is a great chance to learn something new in a supportive atmosphere.
