Kaysinger Bluff Pioneer Heritage Association Events
 

Kaysinger Bluff Pioneer Heritage Association holds three annual events located on the Corp of Engineers property at the Harry S. Truman Visitor Center in Warsaw Missouri.

Heritage Days is held annually the third weekend in October. This event brings many heritage crafters and demonstrators of pioneer life to our site and draws thousands of guests from around the United States to the Warsaw area. This event has been held for the last 30 years.

Living History Days is held in early spring for area elementary students. It is carefully planned to coordinate with the schools curriculum and is a great opportunity for the children to interact with the history of their forefathers.

The Kaysinger Christmas event is held in early December. Guests experience the sights, sounds and smells of days of days gone by, while enjoying old fashioned décor, wood stoves and fire places, singing of carols, and festive pioneer table fare. Come early and stay until dark and witness the changes that occur as darkness falls while strolling along the path elegantly lit by thousands of period luminaries and Gaze into windows dressed for the season glowing from the light of oil lamps.

The Kaysinger Bluff Heritage Association site is located on the Corp of Engineers land at the Harry S. Truman Visitor Center in Warsaw Missouri.

 At the site and within walking distance of the Visitor’s Center is the Ed Elmore log cabin which is open to explore, in the same area, there is a log smoke house, a log barn with dog trot, and a smithy.  Just down the trail, there is a barn style amphitheater, a one room school house, the Hooper House and summer kitchen, a grist mill and sorghum press along with an old barn that has been renovated to be used as a kitchen for Heritage Days, Kaysinger Christmas, and Living History Days.  We also have plans for a general store and hope to begin construction in the near future.
