Hailed as "the new standard for presidential libraries" the new museum is a must-see experience for all ages! The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum is one of 15 presidential libraries operated by the National Archives and Records Administration. Winter Museum Hours (through March 31): Mon-Sat 9 am - 5 pm Regular Museum Hours (April-December): Mon-Sat 9 am - 5 pm, Sun 12-5 pm
