Independence and Its
Independence is inseparable from Harry S. Truman. The 33rd president grew up here, lived in the house on North Delaware Street for most of his adult life, and returned after leaving the White House in 1953. The Truman Library and Museum, the first presidential library built under the 1955 Presidential Libraries Act, sits on a hill overlooking the city. Truman and his wife Bess are buried in the library's courtyard.
Before Truman, Independence was famous as the starting point of the Oregon, California, and Santa Fe trails. The National Frontier Trails Museum documents the period when thousands of wagons gathered in the town square each spring before heading west. The city incorporated in 1827, predating Kansas City by more than two decades.
The Community of Christ, formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, has its world headquarters in Independence. The temple, designed by Gyo Obata and completed in 1994, features a distinctive spiral spire. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also maintains a visitors' center nearby, making Independence a pilgrimage site for multiple branches of the Latter Day Saint movement.
With a population exceeding 117,000, Independence is the fifth-largest city in Missouri. It borders Kansas City on its western edge and functions as part of the Kansas City metropolitan area. The city's historic town square has been revitalized with restaurants, shops, and the Vaile Mansion, a Second Empire house built in 1881.
