Gunman, Foundry, Soldier, Hive | Jesse James Family Farm, Kearney |
Kearney was originally laid out as Centerville in the 1850s, though the James Farm is dated to 1845. Then as now a place for farms and pasture, Kearney is located about sixteen miles north of Kansas City on I-35. Off US-92 there are some attractions of note for the outsider but somewhat sprawled out in this interesting town.
Residency here numbered about 5,500 citizens in the last census. Today the town's websites boasts only two important attractions, thankfully located only a few miles apart. |

Being inside the farm house and picturing what took place, what it must have been like there was fun for me. I love the fact that here is a place you can touch history...not see it behind a rope. | asturnut Wed Dec 8, 2004 15:43 UTC
