Missouri Town is not a location that represents something that Lewis and Clark experienced on their Corps of Discovery journey.  It sounds like a fun place to visit and have some experiences.

From the Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department's Historic Sites Teacher's Guide

Missouri Town 1855 is a collection of original mid-19th century structures carefully relocated from seven western Missouri counties to one site.   Over twenty-five period building including houses with barns and outbuildings, a one-room schoolhouse, church, tavern, lawyer's office, blacksmith shop and a livery stable depict a typical antebellum farming community.  Living history interpreters, in 19th century attire, bring the site to life by portraying the daily routies of village residents.
