REVIEW

PARK INFORMATION
See where the only U.S. president born in Missouri started at Harry S Truman Birthplace State Historic Site. Visitors can view the small frame house where the future president was born, and see furnishings that reflect what a house in western Missouri would have looked like during the time Truman lived in the house.According to the Missouri State Department of Natural Resources, "Want to fly your drone? There are no laws prohibiting drones on state park grounds, but we do ask that you keep it to the main, open day-use areas and be respectful of other visitors in the park. If you will be taking photos for professional use or sale, there would be a process to go through to gain approval for that.

DESCRIPTION

The Harry S Truman Birthplace State Historic Site is located in Lamar, Missouri. This site preserves the birthplace and early childhood home of Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States. The modest frame house, built in the late 19th century, reflects typical small-town Missouri life during that period. Visitors to the site can take guided tours to learn about Truman's early life and the beginnings of his storied political career.

When it comes to flying a drone at the Harry S Truman Birthplace State Historic Site, there are several factors to consider:
1. Legality and Permissions:
- As of now, drone operation in Missouri state parks and historic sites is generally restricted. The Missouri State Parks regulations prohibit the use of drones without specific permission from the director of Missouri State Parks. This means you would need to get explicit permission to fly a drone at this historic site.
2. LANCE Authorization:
- LANCE (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) is required for drone flights in controlled airspace (Class B, C, D, and some E). The necessity of LANCE authorization depends on the airspace classification at the Harry S Truman Birthplace State Historic Site. To check this, you can use apps or websites like the FAA's B4UFLY app. However, given that the site is in a rural area, it is less likely to be in controlled airspace, but verification is always key.
3. Additional Considerations:
- Even if you obtain permission from Missouri State Parks and no LANCE authorization is required, make sure to adhere to FAA regulations for hobbyist or commercial drone use, including keeping the drone within visual line of sight, not flying over people, and keeping the altitude below 400 feet.
- Respect privacy and avoid flying close to residences or disturbing other visitors.
- Always check for the most current local regulations before planning your flight.
In summary, while the Harry S Truman Birthplace State Historic Site serves as an interesting historical location, flying a drone there generally requires prior approval from Missouri State Parks, and you must comply with FAA regulations. Always ensure you have the necessary permissions and check current guidelines to avoid any legal issues.
