Quindaro was founded in the 1850s by Wyandot Nation members and Free State abolitionists as a free-state port on the Missouri River, and it served people escaping slavery on the Underground Railroad before declining when the Civil War began and its charter was repealed in 1862. The ruins are on the National Register and became a National Commemorative Site in 2019, with an overlook on North 27th Street and archaeology ongoing. Access to the ruins themselves is limited.
Overlook open to the public; trails into the ruins are by arrangement, so call ahead.
