The Ginger House, House museum in Independence, Missouri.

The Ginger House exhibits multiple rooms with period furnishings, paintings, dance shoes, movie posters, and original memorabilia from actress Ginger Rogers.

Virginia Katherine McMath, later known as Ginger Rogers, was born in this craftsman style bungalow on July 16, 1911, before rising to Hollywood stardom.

The museum presents the life and career of Ginger Rogers through personal items, including gowns she wore during her performances with Fred Astaire.

Visitors can explore the house through guided tours, which include detailed information about the architectural features and restoration efforts of this historic building.

President Harry Truman declared a Ginger Rogers Day in 1964, recognizing her connection to Independence and her contributions to American entertainment.
