National Frontier Trails Museum

"Please note almost all the photos on Google are of the OLD location. This NEW location is larger with more exhibits and more centrally located. Please still go to the old location to visit the great railroad museum in the old Aton RR depot."

"One of the best stops in Indepdence. A great museum and very friendly and helpful workers. The railway station and tour guide was excellent!! Glad I visited!!"

"We were looking to fill time before a concert and Google led us here. I'm glad we stopped by, I learned a lot. If you like to read everything, I recommend allowing at least two hours. My only complaint is the entrance wasn't well marked. The staff was very friendly."

"Excellent museum displaying history and explanations of some of America's most famous WESTERN TRAILS including dioramas, paintings, antique collections, etc. There are other historic buildings on the property including a log cabin and a train station. We visited the day it happened to reopen since Covid began (8-7-21) and the 2 employees were more than eager to answer questions. The museum is self-guided and only cost @$5/pp. They have a nice small gift shop and a separate room for theater, demos, shows, etc. There is another historic home up the street you can tour also."

"Looks like it has been closed down since covid started in 2020. It's now May 2021. Went went by when we were in town. It looks well kept, and would be awesome to go in a see everything. Looking through the windows it appears they have kept everything in great condition. Would definitely recommend if they were open."
