Hawthorn B&B in Independence, MO
After a full day of family fun in Independence, continue your adventure by checking into one of the charming Bed & Breakfasts in the area.
The elegant, yet comfortable Hawthorn B&B, a renovated 19th-century mansion located in a quiet residential neighborhood, can serve as an excellent home base while you’re exploring all the other family-friendly attractions and activities that Independence has to offer.
Hawthorn B&B boasts a dramatic entryway.
After a good night’s sleep in one of the five extra-large guestrooms, and a hearty breakfast (which includes the Hawthorn’s famous malted pancakes, omelets, and breakfast potatoes, served in the formal dining room), you can set forth once again to explore the fascinating town of Independence.
Truly the town deserves its inclusion in travel writer Patricia Schultz’s book, “1,000 Places to See in the United States and Canada Before You Die.”
You might even say that it’s a place “to die for.”

The Bingham-Waggoner Estate is wonderful, too. I’d move in if they’d let me.
Hope to get there someday. Nice to know about a place to stay.
