👍👍 Spend some time here at some of the historical places that downtown liberty has to offer. This is a very neat place with some amazing architecture. It was fun to drive around the different neighborhoods and see the beautiful houses in this downtown area. We also went to a place called liberty Jail....

👍👍 Cute little stopping area. We didn’t walk the trail but it was nice to use the restrooms, they were decently clean as I was not sure how often they were serviced since it seems to be in a somewhat hidden area. They had some water fountains and a shelter with information on it about the battle site....

🫤 This was listed as a National Parks Historic Site, but when we got there, it was basically a meeting room. A meeting was about to start, so they showed us a few brochures and an old wooden wheel in the back of the room in a crammed little space.

👍 There's not much here but a 0.8 mile trail with some signage telling you the history of the Osage native peoples in the area. It's also 3 miles off the paved road.

👍👍 Our tourist was so awesome, extremely professional and knowledgeable. It's a two room tour however it's a lot of information packed in.
