You don't stumble onto Grandview by accident. That's rather the point. The 3-Trails Crossing Memorial Highway is the official name for an interchange in south Kansas City, Missouri that was once considered one of Missouri's most congested locations.

Jefferson County County holds 5 documented ghost towns, including Ashwood, Geneva, Horse Heaven — Grandview keeps them company on the map.

The story of Grandview

Oregon's ghost towns are timber camps and high-desert gold strikes, preserved by dry air and long distances.

The 3-Trails Crossing Memorial Highway is the official name for an interchange in south Kansas City, Missouri that was once considered one of Missouri's most congested locations. Although it is known as the Grandview Triangle, it is not located in Grandview, a suburb of Kansas City. It is actually north of Grandview, still within the city limits of Kansas City. After several years of reconstruction, the interchange itself is largely congestion free during non-peak hours despite the high traffic on the highways approaching the interchange.

What you'll find today

The on-the-ground condition of Grandview is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Good to know
