Caution: Blog Under Construction

I write about my home in Westport.  It is one of the oldest buildings in Westport. Westport is a neighborhood at the west border of Kansas City, Missouri, stretching south from 39^th Street to 47^th Street, from State line Road to Main. I try to present the history of Kansas City and its people as accurately as possible, but often need fixing up, so frequent edits are made. I hope my writing and research will improve as I learn to be more patient and not so quick to publish everything I write every moment of the day.

I present my blog, the history of, My House The Trading Post, as a story in short posts. The history of this property has been brought together from books, scrolling through library maps, micro-fish, and old phone books, to remembering conversations with the elder neighbors (RIP), and tales from present day visitors.

The intended audience for this book, “My House The Trading Post, Its History,” are my friends, neighbors, and children, specifically, my grandson. The earlier items presented are more historically accurate. Some information came directly from the history books. The historic nature of this property has not been officiated, but a line of communication has been established with the National Historic Registry Board.

Finally, I would like to thank all the followers of, My House The Trading Post. I am tickled to think someone else, besides me, enjoys the history of old houses. Keep reading my Story; characters like Daniel Boone, Doc Holiday, Ernest Hemingway and others, will show up in the story, as they were visitors of this house in its tavern days.
