The Bingham Waggoner Estate is a beautiful 19-acre estate located within Independence Square near area attractions such as the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum. The well-preserved estate retains more than 90 percent of its original furnishings and is recognized as one of Western Missouri's most significant historical sites. It was originally plotted along the Santa Fe Trail in 1827 and served as the home of politician and artist George Caleb Bingham. In 1979, the home was purchased by the City of Independence and operates today as a living history museum facility, open to the public for guided tours and special events.
