In celebration of Presidents’ Day Weekend, Friday, February 18 through Monday, February 21, 2022, The Key West Harry S. Truman Foundation, in a first-time partnership with The Society of Presidential Descendants, will welcome a gathering of descendants of former United States Presidents to Key West, Florida, the island city where Harry S. Truman spent 11 working vacations during his 1945-1953 Presidency.
Centerpiece of the weekend’s events is a Saturday, February 19, moderated discussion on the topic of “American Bipartisanship: Working Across the Aisle,” featuring six distinguished presidential descendants: Clifton Truman Daniel, grandson of Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States; Ulysses Grant Dietz, great-great grandson of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th U.S. President; Mary Jean Eisenhower, granddaughter of 34th U.S. President General Dwight D. Eisenhower; Massee McKinley, great-great grandson of President Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th U.S. President, and great-great nephew of 25th U.S. President William McKinley; Tweed Roosevelt, great-grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th U.S. President; and Patricia Taft, great-granddaughter of William Howard Taft, the 27th U.S. President.
