The museum features an array of exhibits that focus on the early fur trappers and traders, the explorations of Lewis and Clark, and the reasons why people headed west to settle, as well as an trail artifacts, authentic covered wagons, original diaries and letters, an award-winning film, and a children's activity room."

"Another unique gem to be found in Independence is Leila’s Hair Museum. It’s exactly what you think it is, but it’s also much more than you think it is. This isn’t a museum that will make you feel like you’re just looking at the floor of a barbershop."
