A wonderful place to learn and spend time with people but the staffs is not friendly.
In late April, while on a long road trip, my wife planned a stop in Independence to take in the Truman history. During her research (the amazing technology of smart phones and Google while on the road) she came across the National Frontier Trails Museum. The museum is very interesting covering the pioneers heading to great unknown West. Studying the maps we discovered our planned trip entailed following a good portion of the Santa Fe Trail. A very nice exhibit of Frontier exploration and lifestyle.
Wonderful place! My children and I loved it and will go back. We rode the carriage from the Square to the museum and loved every second! Independence has a rich history and there is so much to learn.
They had a lot of good information, but not many artifacts. We were very glad we didn't have our young (preschool) children with us... that would have been a disaster. They did have a small area for children to play at, but the museum wouldn't have held their attention at all.
We spent 2 1/2 hours enjoying the museum . I really liked reading all the primary source quotes and accounts of those who traveled the trails and their experiences. If you're near Independence, MO it's worth a visit.
