Review:
Missouri Town 1855 is located just east of the city of Independence within Fleming Park, which is also home to Lake Jacomo, Blue Springs Lake, and the Kemper Outdoor Education Center. The recreated 1850s farming village, which has been highlighted in publications such as KCParent magazine, serves as a living history museum and interpretive center, showcasing more than 25 restored and relocated historic buildings representing common prairie town structures such as blacksmith shops, mercantiles, and one-room schoolhouses. The 30-acre site is staffed with living history interpreters portraying pioneer town citizens, bringing the culture of the early American Midwest to life through a variety of demonstrations and historic reenactments.
