A Little Drive Around Independence, MO

With all this virus going on and the protesting we just wanted to go for a little outing. We drove around Independence and took a few photos. We do live in a pretty area. Just a little history about Independence. This is where all the Wagon Trains would meet to start out to Santa Fe, California, and Oregon. The travelers would try and purchase enough supplies to last for the long trip. We also have to oldest Court House still in use. We are also the home of President Harry S. Truman.

This is Clinton’t Soda Shop. President Truman would walk from his home to this for a soda.

Court House, still in use.

President Truman’s home with wife Bess

This is the original well house. After this history how about a walk around one of our parks.

This was a fun walk on a nice day to walk. Hope you have enjoyed it.
