Independence

Built around the Jackson County courthouse square, Independence grew into a Kansas City metropolitan-area city closely tied to America’s westward trails. Just south of the Missouri River, it became a major outfitting point for travelers setting out on the Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails. The National Frontier Trails Museum documents that pivotal role, while the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum recalls the life and presidency of the Missouri-born president who made his home here. The historic square remains a civic focal point, with shops and public institutions gathered around its courthouse.
