Neighborhood Highlights
The Chicago and Alton Railroad Depot
This two-story train depot will take you on a trip through time. Built in 1879, it’s been fully restored and is open to the public as a living history museum. Guided tours are available throughout the year, along with open times during special events.
Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum
Independence was once the home of Harry S. Truman. His life and achievements – from rural farm boy to 33rd U.S. President – are documented here in millions of manuscripts, videos, and audio recordings. The museum offers an engaging look at Truman’s life, presidency, and connection to Independence.
Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts
Art is for everyone, and that’s what the Kauffman Center is all about. Come see performances by the Kansas City Symphony. Love dancing? The Kansas City Ballet will dazzle. Even the building is something to behold, designed by famed architect Moshe Safdie.
