The Bingham-Waggoner Mansion & Estate
Sitting on a beautiful 19+ acre estate in the heart of Independence, Missouri, we invite you walk into and explore this restored 26-room mansion that is steeped in the history of Independence and an expanding nation. Perched on the beginning of the Santa Fe, Oregon, and California Trails and occupied by an artist/politician/statesman named George Caleb Bingham and by the William Waggoner family for 97 years, the Bingham-Waggoner Mansion and Estate is a lesson in history and the Victorian Era in all its finery.
