Historic Attractions

The most famous occupant of this elegant 1891 banker’s house was Ted Sanders who was a political ally and confidant of President Harry Truman. Sanders headed the Clinton County Democratic party while Truman did likewise in adjoining Clay County. The two became lifelong friends and Sanders was a special guest at Truman’s inauguration as well as a regular White House visitor. Truman took time to write Sanders from the 1945 Potsdam Conference with Churchill and Stalin that the talks “were going along in good shape”, but because of the widespread bombing that he had “yet to see a chicken in any yard”. Sanders sent Truman a turkey each Christmas for over 30 years. This ornate Queen Anne Victorian home features impressive oak woodwork, four fireplaces and 52 doors.
