Kaysinger Pioneer Heritage Days
Date: Oct. 19th & 20th
Harry S Truman Visitor Center / Pioneer Village

Warsaw, Missouri

Kaysinger Bluff Pioneer Heritage Days (KBPHA) is an all-volunteer organization promoting the history of the Ozarks highland region. We are also a 501 c3 non-profit organization. KBPHA is the group that hosts Pioneer Heritage Days at the Harry S. Truman Visitors Center which we work in conjunction with the US Corp of Engineers to accomplish.
KBPHA has a little over 100 unique pioneer crafts. We have quilters, spinners, weavers, lye soap making, log hewing, operating sorghum mill, grist mill and too many to mention! A few even travel from out of state to exhibit during Pioneer Heritage Days. KBPHA has an original 1857 log cabin that used to set on the Butterfield Stagecoach route. We have a reconstructed Ed Elmore cabin complex with a barn and an operating smokehouse during the events. A general store with locally produced crafts. Our original one-room Concord Schoolhouse from Quincy Mo built for the third time in 1899 after a fire destroyed the building on two separate events when it was a log structure. We have the Hooper House, circa 1900 that was moved to the visitors center before the Truman Lake was flooded in the ’70s.
KBPHA’s Pioneer Heritage Days have an attendance rate averaging 7000. Due to the influx of people for the two days vehicles are parked below Truman Dam at the East Bledsoe Ferry Park. From there a wristband is purchased, $7 for adults, $4 for ages 6-12 and free for 5 and under. This wristband is good for both days and takes you to Pioneer Heritage Days at the Truman Visitors Center and Drake Harbor for the modern crafts ran by the Chamber. We also sell wristbands at Drake Harbor to ride the bus.
I want to emphasize riding the bus is not free and we don’t allow pets at Pioneer Heritage Days due to the buses. It is an issue every year for us as people have brought parrots, monkeys, pigs and goats in the past to ride the bus, to name a few.
$7 for adults, $4 6-12, and free for age 5 and under.
