Review:

The Grinter Place State Historic Site is the former residence of Moses Grinter, who was one of the earliest pioneer settlers of the state of Kansas and responsible for establishing the very first ferry for crossing the Kansas River. It’s also believed that this Georgian Vernacular home, built back in 1857 on the Delaware Indian Reserve, may be the state’s oldest farmhouse. The Grinter Place State Historic Site provides a chance for visitors to step back in time to the days of frontier life in the Kansas City area. Many antique items can be seen throughout the house.
