The entrance to Towne Creek Mill off S. Commercial St., in Harrisonville, Mo. The Burge Bros. Feed Company buildings still remain south of the now removed trestle over Town Creek, but have been put to other uses.

A view of the mill very near where the old concrete mixing plant used to stand along the then siding spur of the Frisco line. The spur was a remnant of the main line of the Kansas City, Clinton, & Springfield Railway.

AN autumn photo of the previous one. The structure, since added to, was the Cass County Seed Company into the early-to-mid 1960's. A wooden trestle carried the Frisco siding across Town Creek after first crossing the near Missouri Pacific Railway tracks and the abandoned and removed MKT tracks. The tracks bisected the concrete plant and the Seed Co.; crossing the trestle, and continuing another two blocks to W. Washington St., all the while servicing Burge Bros. Feed Co., then, an MFA Coop, Yoder Oil Co.(Shelly), Armstrong Elevator Co, & finally a DX Oil Co. wholesaler.

The north end of the trestle was used as a hopper car dump site for sand for the concrete plant. The seed company elevator and storage garages has been converted into some sort of business or apartment complex approximately soon after the early 1970's.

After my husband died I sold GWM Corporation and have continued to live here. We have had many weddings, receptions, and other parties here in our park-like back yard (Towne Creek Mill Gardens) and in our coffee-house/party room (Whizzer's at Towne Creek Mill).
