The iconic Presidential Families Weekend Forum will take place on Saturday, February 15th. During this forum, "descendants with a direct lineage to one or more of the 46 U.S. presidents will share stories and historical perspectives on how their relatives used the power of the presidency to influence the U.S. Government."

You can catch a performance of the one-man play "Give 'Em Hell, Harry!" on Sunday, February 16th or Monday, February 17th. The play brings the former president to life, showcasing his wit, his struggles, and his unwavering commitment to his principles. 

No Presidents' Day celebration is complete without a good old-fashioned cookout, and the Truman Little White House is keeping with tradition. On Monday, February 17th, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., a President's Day cookout will take place on the grounds. Picnic-style food will be available for purchase. 

Come enjoy Presidents' Day in Key West!
