White Glove Wednesdays

Harry S. Truman Presidential Library
Independence, MO

Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. EDT

 

Get up close and personal with some of the most unique artifacts at the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum on Wednesday, October 16. White Glove Wednesdays are when an archivist, curator, or technician selects a special item not generally displayed in the museum. On Wednesdays at 11 a.m., museum visitors can view the items up close, hear more from the experts, and ask questions about the artifacts.

White Glove Wednesdays are free with museum admission, and admission is always free for Truman Library Institute Members.

On October 16, we will showcase a variety of political cartoons commenting on the 1948 presidential election. These original cartoons from the museum collection help illustrate the issues and stories surrounding Truman's upset victory in the 1948 presidential election.
