[NFBMO] Fwd: Visiting Harry S Truman National Historic Site

[Amy Wilson]

Hello fellow federationists, 

Hope this finds each of you well. 
After some calls I have finally received some information about our Harry S. Truman National Parker visit tomorrow. I wanted to forward the information so everyone would have all the proper information ready to go for this 1st adventure on our NFBMO national park challenge. 

As it says the tickets are 1st come first serve so if anyone would like me to pick up tickets please let me know. I am happy to coordinate that . Please let me know via phone or text since I do not check my emails often. You can reach me at 660-441-1907

I will be there before 2pm and will be there until after 5pm to ensure everyone has a safe and positive experience. Again if you need anything please call or text me. They are very excited to have us visit the national park and kick off our NFBMO state convention! 


Below you will also find links for audio description for sections of different areas around the Truman National Park you can download an advance so make sure to check that out as well.

> Hi. It was wonderful speaking to you!

> As we discussed:
>  
> Our visitor center is at 223 North Main Street, Independence, Missouri, 64050. This is where the tickets for the Truman Home tours are issued. Tickets are free, but required. They are first come, first served, so we recommend folks come as soon as they can to get the spots they want.
> The City of Independence is making some parking lot improvements in the lot across the street from the visitor center, so please use caution.
> The Truman Home itself is at 219 North Delaware Street, Independence. There is street parking by the home.
> While waiting for their tours, folks can visit the Noland Home, which is almost right across the street from the Truman Home. There are interpretive exhibits and restrooms in the Noland Home. Normally there is an audio description program for folks, but that program’s technology has aged and failed, and although I have funding to have it replaced, the contract has just begun. But I do have the mp3 audio files here: https://www.nps.gov/hstr/planyourvisit/sightimpaired.htm   I have the audio files set where users can download them if desired.
> We also have our main park brochure in a Braille format in hard copy at the visitor center. I have a couple of copies at the Noland Home as well. I have attached that .brf file if anyone has the ability to use that.
>  
> If there is anything else I can do, please command!
