visitors to ring and talk on), also 2 wood

their old ring number and talk to their
neighbor. We have a history of the
Galesville switchboard and operator. Many
pictures and memorabilia are also on
display. Visitors are welcome to browse the
plant where we restore the phones. Wood wall

Like
all small towns in America, many young men and women of Independence
have served gallantly in the armed forces, helping to keep America
strong and free. At the Veteran's Memorial Museum located at
Independence High School, hundreds of stories of these servicemen
and women have been preserved. Established through volunteer
efforts in 2000, the Veteran's Memorial Museum consists of display
cases of artifacts dating from the Civil War as well as an entire
hallway -" the Hallway of Heroes" containing photographs and
biographies, all directly related to the veterans of the
