<DIV ALIGN=center>We are happy to share with you a glimps of Western Missouri history at one of the Premiere Living<p>
          History Villages in the Country.&nbsp&nbspJackson County Parks and Recreation maintains this unique place.<p><p>  

	    Located on the banks of Lake Jacomo just south of Blue Springs, MO Missouri Town 1855 is made<p> 
          up of 25 structures of which most are original buildings from the 19th century. Many of these <p>
          dwellings date from 1820-1860 and their original locations were with-in 75 mile radius of Missouri Town.<p><br><p><p><p><p>
          
          The buildings were in danger of disappearing into the landscape forever.<p>  
Due in part to modern 
          society or neglect.&nbsp&nbsp We are so happy to share with you our heritage<p>
 and hope you might take the opportunity to join our organization<p> and help continue our mission of preserving the past to serve
          the people of the present.<br><p><p><p><p><br><p><p><p><p>
