Local Information for Independence, MO
Home of the 33rd US President Harry Truman, Independence is a relatively quiet city in the state of Missouri. Part of the Kansas City metro area, Independence is known as the “Queen City of the Trails” because at one time in the city’s history, it was a point of departure for the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon Trails.
The Truman Presidential Library and Museum is one of the city’s main attractions, along with other points of interest for locals and tourists alike. The Santa-Cali-Gon Days, for instance, is a Labor Day festival that celebrates the city’s heritage as a starting point for the three abovementioned frontier trails. The Vaile Strawberry Festival is another of Independence’s popular annual celebrations that residents and guests can truly enjoy.
Festivals are not the only things that attract people to Independence. Its historical charm – and the fact that a former U.S. President lived there – is a major reason why families love building their lives in this charming city.
