After COVID-caused delay, Truman Library to reopen this week

The Harry S. Truman Museum and Library in Independence is scheduled to reopen with limited hours on Thursday.

The museum closed in October because of an increase in COVID-19 cases in Jackson County.

It previously reopened in July after nearly two years of renovations. Museum officials said the museum will initially be open Thursday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for people who buy advanced tickets online.

Visitors will be required to wear masks. The museum underwent a nearly $30 million renovation project starting in 2019 that was slowed by the coronavirus pandemic.
