#Mo #Independence #HistoricWaterTower survived the 1967 Waggoner-Gates Mill explosion and fire but couldn't survive the Citys continued quest to reimagine & rewrite history. They really need to be investigated along with Friends of the #NFTM National Frontier Trails Museum. The millions that went into proposing and creating a National Frontier Trails Center Museum in the 1980's for the Santa Fe, California, Oregon, & Mormon trails. Up to more recent yrs systematically & allegedly mismanaging, neglecting, and destroying integral buildings, collections, and the overall site. The one remaining building in disrepair basically handed over to special interest friends for the Missouri Model Railroad Museum. Pioneers & Santa Fe Trail no more it's Oregon OCTA & Rail where Western Expansion begins in their version.
