Directions to the Library

The Harry S. Truman Library is approximately 35 miles from Kansas City International Airport. Bus service, indirect and possibly requiring considerable time and patience, is available between the airport and Independence Square, which is about 1 mile from the library. A taxi ride from the airport to the library costs about $55.00. There are many routes to the library by road. Some of the most direct are as follows:

• from the airport: east and south on I-435 (Kansas City's circumferential highway) approximately 32 miles, to the Winner Road exit (Winner Road becomes U.S. Highway 24), and then east 3 miles to the library, which is prominently visible on the north side of U.S. Highway 24.;

• from the north: I-35 to I-435 south to Winner Road/U.S. Highway 24 east.;

• from the east: I-70 to Noland Road north (about 5 miles) to U.S. Highway 24 west (about 1 mile). Watch carefully for the Truman Library direction sign at the intersection of Noland Road and U.S. Highway 24.;

• from the south: I-35 to I-435 east and north, to Winner Road/U.S. Highway 24 east.;

• from the west: I-70 to I-435 north, to Winner Road/U.S. Highway 24 east.
