It was finally down in the high 80's today, so we set out to visit Missouri Town 1855. The reconstructed town is located in Fleming Park, a Jackson County Parks and Recreation facility near Lee's Summit, Missouri. The park also includes two large lakes and a bison herd.
Over 25 antebellum buildings from various locations in Missouri were rescued from destruction, carefully dismantled, and reconstructed on 30 acres in the park. Most of the buildings are furnished with period pieces. Interpreters wander the town in period costumes and speak to you in character. Sheep, chickens, and horses add to the ambiance.
We spent a couple of hours wandering the grounds. I took about 40 pictures. Several are included in this slide show.
