Back in the day it was the western most village before venturing into the Kansas Territory! Fur trappers and farmers traded goods with Native Americans and wagon trains of pioneer families stocked up for the arduous journey west via the California, Oregon and Santa Fe trails. Years later, Union and Confederate soldiers clashed in 'The Battle of West Port,' a conflict that essentially ended the Civil War in the western states. But the battle was so brutal that trade in West Port ended. In 1890, 'Westport' was annexed by Kansas City. Do you want to go somewhere beyond walking distance? Don't worry! Everything else that’s great to do in KC is literally minutes away by car, Uber or Lyft. For example: you're an 11 minute drive to Arrowhead Stadium. ✿ Before booking, guests are required to upload government issued identification to their Airbnb profile and have it verified by Airbnb. ✿ Absolutely no smoking indoors, no drugs, no parties.
