Independence Tourism

There's so much to see and do in Independence. From unique shops to sixteen heritage attractions that played a key role in shaping the future of our nation, it's all here in a great hometown atmosphere. Just minutes from Kansas City and the 4th largest city in the state, Independence is the home of President Harry Truman and the beginning of the Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails. It's a place for fun where you can experience terrific shopping, wonderful restaurants, numerous accommodation choices, and a variety of exciting attractions and outdoor activities.

All this and more are found in Independence, a true "American Original."
