Jackson County’s first government building, constructed with slave labor, was the only courthouse between St. Louis and the Pacific at the time the Santa Fe Trail trade began.

Two-room log structure was home to roots of Jackson County where controversial slave state, land disputes and westward expansion issues were dealt with. Once a Mormon mercantile store, this structure has a great significance to members of the LDS church. Harry Truman held court here in the 1930s.

If you love the outdoors, exploring, and map reading, then Orienteering is for you!

you can plan a staycation orienteering right around your neighborhood or local park
Orienteering is the sport of navigating through an unfamiliar area using a map and perhaps a compass. The object is to make your way through a series of points identified on a map and return to the finish line in the shortest amount of time as possible. The route of your journey is up to you. At each marked point, you will find an orange and white “control” marker and a unique punch so you can punch your card to prove that you’ve found the control.

Whether walking or running, this sport involves endurance, ingenuity, and decision making. It is a sport for everyone, regardless of age or experience with courses from beginner to advanced. Take your whole family in a staycation adventure!
