Grinter Place State Historic Site is one of 16 state historic sites operated by the Kansas Historical Society, a state agency. About the site: Grinter Place is the oldest home in Wyandotte County and a step back to the days of frontier life along the Kansas and Missouri border. Overlooking the historic Delaware Crossing on the Kansas River, Grinter Place was the home of Annie and Moses Grinter. Annie, a Lenape (Delaware) Indian, helped to farm, raise poultry and livestock, and plant an apple orchard. Moses operated a ferry and a trading post, where he traded with the Lenape Indians.
