Grinter Place, Historic house museum in Muncie, Kansas City, US
The two-story brick residence features vernacular and Victorian architectural elements, with a design that reflects construction methods from 1857.
Moses Grinter established this residence after operating a ferry service across the Kansas River, connecting Fort Leavenworth to Fort Scott since 1831.
The marriage between Moses Grinter and Annie Marshall, a Lenape woman, represents the interaction between European settlers and Native American communities.
The Kansas Historical Society maintains this historic site, offering guided tours that explain the development of frontier settlements in Wyandotte County.
The property housed the first non-military post office in Kansas and functioned as a trading post between 1855 and 1860.
