My g'g'grandparents use to drive their wagon with produce(late 1800's)out Kentucky ave to the intersection with the old Indep Rd(24hwy) and sold the produce to the people coming from FT Osage.That corner (nw) is still grass covered. Fairmount city park,the edges especially.Check where the old Sugar Creek ferry use to be,the James' even used this ferry.Go to the old court house and do a little research.Goodluck.
