Pioneer Trails Adventures

Pioneer Trails Adventures History filled tours aboard a Missouri Mule drawn Covered Wagon. At Pioneer Trails Adventures, we are more than just a ride.

Come visit Independence, where three trails began, two Civil War battles were fought and one President began his march to the White House. See Independence as a pioneer would, by mule-drawn covered wagon. Our Pioneer Adventures are unique and complement without duplicating other historic sites. On your wagon tour find out why: Frank James' jail cell door was never shut, why Order number 11 made Ha

rry S. Truman emphatic about the Marshal Plan, how the painting of order number 11 destroyed a mighty General, why Missouri is the Show-Me-State and so much more.

Dear Friends of the Bingham-Waggoner Estate,

We are reaching out with an urgent and deeply concerning update regarding the future of our local history. A newly proposed Historic Sites Master Plan has just been released, and its recommendation is unthinkable: The City of Independence is considering selling both the Bingham-Waggoner Estate and the Vaile Mansion.
These landmarks are not just buildings; they are the heart of our community's heritage. We cannot allow them to be lost to private development or permanent closure.
We need you to show up and help us fill the room.
We are joining forces with our friends at the Vaile Victorian Society to send a clear message: Our historic estates are not for sale.

How You Can Help:

Attend the Meeting: Join us in person to show the City Council the strength of our support.
Spread the Word: Forward this email to five friends who care about Independence history.
Review the Plan: Read the proposal yourself at this link so you are informed.
https://independencemo.portal.civicclerk.com/event/1852/files/agenda/2890
Meeting Details:

When: Monday, April 13 at 6:00 PM
Where: 20201 East Jackson Drive (City Hall/Oregon & Santa Fe Conference Room, 1st Floor)
Who: All supporters of the Bingham-Waggoner Estate and Vaile Mansion

This is a critical moment for the preservation of our city’s legacy. Your presence alone makes a powerful statement. We hope to see you there!
With gratitude,
Steve Euritt
Board President, Bingham-Waggoner Estate
