Repairs needed for 1859 Jail in Independence

“INDEPENDENCE, Mo. —

It's been nearly 70 years since major upgrades were done to the historic 1859 Jail on the Independence Square. Part of the popular attraction is now closed off to visitors because of some sinking and crumbling on parts of the building.

It was former President Harry Truman who made it his mission to save this historic jail.”
