The Harry Truman farmhouse nearby my property. He grew up on his grandfather’s beloved 600-acre farm in Grandview. He was there when Grandview became a city and got its own post office. In 1917, he left to fight in World War I. When he came back after the Armistice he started on the path to the White House. But he always recalled the pleasant times he had in Grandview. The Truman Farm Home still stands in Grandview and is maintained by The National Park Service. Visitors come from across the country to see this piece of history, as well as the small room where Harry Truman gazed out over the rolling hills of Grandview. Grandview Historical Society maintains the building, now known as the Depot Museum, filled with a artifacts, displays, historical photographs, antiques, and an authentically furnished station agent's office. More importantly, Grandview survived without mortgaging now and future.
Over the decades, Grandview grew from railroads to runways.richards gebaur afbGrandview became a proud military town when the United States Air Force leased Grandview Air Force Base, later renamed Richards-Gebaur AFB. With it came a surge of military personnel and their families. Right behind them a construction boom. Grandview built its first major shopping center, Truman Corners, which Harry Truman himself dedicated. For decades Grandview enjoyed the comforts of what comes with being a military town; steady construction, thriving businesses and engaged residents…Well, so many things to do in Grandview MO isn’t?!
