About Us

Discover the remarkable legacy of Grinter Place Friends, where history comes alive.

Who Are We

Grinter Place Friends, Inc. was founded to support the ongoing preservation of the Grinter Place State Historic Site, built in 1857 by Moses Grinter. As a vital part of Kansas history, Grinter Place symbolizes the intersection of cultures and commerce in the early Midwest.

Our organization helps fund the maintenance of the site, develop educational programs, and host events that connect the community to its rich past. Volunteers, donors, and visitors help us keep this legacy thriving.
