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

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — 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.
