History
Independence station, also known as Missouri Pacific Depot, is an Amtrak train station in Independence, Missouri, United States. The station was originally built in 1913 by the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and is also known as the "Truman Depot", because it was the final stop in Harry S. Truman's 1948 Whistlestop Campaign and where 8,500 admirers welcomed Truman home in January 1953 after leaving office. The depot has since become an Amtrak stop and is home to the Jackson County Genealogical Society Research Library. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
