Owens-Rogers Museum

The home was a tourist attraction and museum[1] and is located in Independence, Missouri, United States, at 100 West Moore Street.

This small craftsman style bungalow was built between 1906 and 1910 by Oscar Mindrup, a local real estate investor, banker, and city councilman.

She obtained employment as a typist on July 15 at the Sand Company, promising to appear for duty in early August.

In 1964, President Harry Truman declared July 16 to be "Ginger Rogers Day," during a large celebration in her honor.

On July 16, 1994, the City of Independence hosted Ginger Rogers Day with a parade, book signing, a film festival, luncheon, and dinner.

From the time of construction until 2016, the home was owned by several families, some who are mentioned in the book 100 West Moore Street by Liana Twente and Audrey Elder.

[3] On February 29, 2016, the home was purchased by Three Trails Cottages, LLC who completed extensive structural restoration work and restored the home to its original condition as closely as possible, preserving the historic features such as the front porch and columns, extensive woodwork, the original corner bathroom sink and clawfoot tub.

The museum hosts special events throughout the season including a Mother's Day Tea, Ginger Rogers' Birthday, and Hollywood Happy Hour in conjunction with a local winery.
