Join us for the 16th Annual "Breakfast on the Trails" at the Bingham-Waggoner Estate, located at 313 W. Pacific, Independence, MO. Did you know that the families who lived in the grand home were able to sit on the wrap around porch and watch thousands of covered wagons head west out of town on the Santa Fe Trail? Think back to the years past and join us as we listen to the music of the times and enjoy the simple pleasures of a home style breakfast served around a chuck wagon like those that traveled over the swales on the grounds. Scrambled eggs, sausage, country fried potatoes, french toast sticks and beverages will be served. $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for children 10 and younger. Homemade baked goods will be available at the Old Fashioned Bake Sale, plan to take some home! Come hungry and leave well fed! While at the Estate, we hope you will also visit our Gift Shop and enjoy a tour of the home for a discount of $1.00 off the normal tour price. Advance Tickets Required-Call early!
