The Quindaro Ruins is a historic site located in Kansas City, KS. It was once a thriving town in the mid-19th century and served as an important stop on the Underground Railroad. Today, the site is a designated National Historic Landmark and has become a popular destination for history buffs and tourists alike. Quindaro was founded in 1856 by abolitionists who sought to establish a free state in Kansas. The town was located on the banks of the Missouri River.
