Celebrate Independence Day at Missouri Town

Published on July 01, 2025

Celebrate the birth of our nation in true Victorian Fashion during the annual Independence Day Celebration at Missouri Town Living History Museum.

Enjoy the music, crafts and games of yesteryear in our historic village. Pack a picnic lunch and relax on our rolling lawn, go for a stroll through town, enjoy freshly made ice cream, and learn how our country's independence was celebrated in the mid-1800s from our living history interpreters. 

Missouri Town is a living history museum with more than 25 buildings dating from 1822 – 1860 spread across nearly 30 picturesque acres. Original structures from seven western Missouri counties are filled with historic tools and furnishings, setting the stage for life in the mid-1800s.

The July 4 event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost for adults is $8, youth and seniors $4.
