Crane Stadium/Tompkins Field
Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field has served as host site for numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments. In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri enjoyed the completion of an outstanding baseball facility to go with its already outstanding baseball program – James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field. A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field. In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seatback chairs were installed for the fans. All of this was funded by Crane. In the summer of 2013, the stadium received another upgrade with a new grass playing surface being installed. In the fall of 2015, a $1.1 million project to outfit the stadium with a sythentic turf playing surface was funded primarily by Crane. The project, which includes synthetic turf from AstroTurf, is expected to be completed in time for the Mules’ 2016 home-opener On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins. Official dedication ceremonies were held on May 2, 1998. The facility was showcased in the October 1998 issue of Athletics Administration magazine. The first night game played under the new lights took place on March 25, 1998, with the Mules beating Benedictine College 21-6. On the May 2 dedication day, the Mules swept a doubleheader from Truman State University, 14-2 and 10-4, in the first round of the MIAA Playoffs. The 1998 MIAA Postseason Tournament and the NCAA Central Regional Tournament were also played here, with the Mules winning both events. Tompkins, who died in July, 1996, at the age of 55, was the Mules’ baseball coach from 1965 through 1980. He designed the facility prior to its original construction in 1975. As coach, he compiled a 248-164-1 record (.602 winning percentage). His teams won MIAA championships in 1966, 1971 and 1974, went to the NCAA tournament in 1971 and 1974, and placed fourth at the 1974 NCAA Championship. He was voted MIAA Coach of the Year in 1974. Prior to becoming the Mules’ head coach, Tompkins had been a three-year letterman for the Mules as a pitcher. His 1974 team was inducted into the Central Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994 and he was inducted posthumously in 2002. Crane, who played for the Mules from 1973 through 1976, provided the lead gift for the additions to the facility. A 1997 Central Missouri and 2012 MIAA Hall of Fame inductee, Crane was a standout pitcher during his career under Tompkins. He had a four-year record of 21-8 with an earned run average of 2.42. He was an honorable mention All-American and first-team All-MIAA selection in 1974 and 1975. In the Mules’ baseball record book, he ranks first in complete games (23), career shutouts (7), third in career strikeouts (215), and is in the top 10 in career wins (21) and career earned run average (2.42). He still holds the Mules’ single-game strikeout record with 18 against Ohio Northern in a 2-0 Mules win in the 1974 College Division World Series. In his last game as a Mule, he pitched a 1-0 shutout vs. Lincoln on May 8, 1976, at this site. Crane is a graduate of Lutheran North High School in St. Louis and in November of 2011 became the fifth owner of the Houston Astros Major League Baseball franchise. This field, which seats approximately 1,500, has been the site of NCAA Division II Regionals in 1989, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012 as well as MIAA Tournaments in 1986, 1992, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. The field’s dimensions are 330 feet down each foul line, 375 feet to left center and right center, and 400 In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, feet to center field. In 40 seasons at this site, the Mules’ record is storage facility, and umpires dressing room. This facility also was funded by former Mules baseball legend Jim Crane. 755-149-1 (.835).

2015 Year in Review MULES BASEBALL STAFF PLAYERS
The 2015 Central Missouri Mules won 30 games for the 22nd straight season. They finished third in the MIAA Regular Season standings and advanced to the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament in Kansas City. The season started, as it had the previous two years, in Houston, Texas at Minute Maid Park home of the Houston Astros. The Mules went 2-2 at the season-opening Houston Winter Invitational, including a thrilling 8-6 comeback win over nationally-ranked St. Mary’s (Texas). They finished the early season non-conference portion of their schedule at 4-3 as they headed in to MIAA play. The Mules split each of their first four conference series and sat at 8-8 in league play. They took three out of four games from Central Oklahoma in Warrensburg and three out of four from Washburn in Topeka, while sweeping Lincoln and Northeastern State to sit at 22-10 in league play heading in to the final regular season series. UCM won the opening game of the final series at Lindenwood, but dropped the next three to finish the regular season at 28-20 overall and 23-13 in conference play. The Mules earned the No. 3 seed in the MIAA Tournament and the right to host a best-of-three first round series. The Mules drew sixth-seeded Nebraska-Kearney in the tournament’s first round. The Mules scored 17 runs in two games and swept the Lopers by scores of 10-5 and 7-5 to advance to the tournament semifinals at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in Kansas City, Kansas. In the semifinals, the Mules faced second-seeded Emporia State. The Hornets led 2-1 in the middle of the fourth inning when the game was halted due to rain. The game was suspended and resumed the following morning. When the game resumed, the Mules quickly took a 3-2 lead, but ESU tied the game with a run in the bottom of the fifth and pushed across three runs in the bottom of the eighth to win 6-3. The loss sent UCM in to an elimination game against Washburn. Tyler House put on a stellar pitching performance against the Ichabods. He was perfect through five innings before the first base runner reached on an error in the sixth. He went to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a bloop single, the only hit House would allow in eight innings. The Mules tied the game with a run in the top of the ninth to force extras, and quickly took a 3-1 lead in the 10th on RBI singles from Derek Cornell and Dylan Hanson. UCM couldn’t hold the lead, however, as the Ichabods scored three times in the bottom of the frame to grab a 4-3 win and eliminate the Mules from the tournament. The Mules ended the season 30-22 overall. Ten Mules earned All-MIAA honors, including Trevor Jones earning First Team accolades. Carlos D’Armas was a Third Team selection with Honorable Mention honors going to Ricky Rivera, Jake Heissler, Tyler House, Bennett Oliver, Dusty Maas, Jackson Schnurbusch, Tony Sandifer and Derek Cornell. Jones went on to earn Second Team All-Region honors from both Daktronics and the NCBWA. Nineteen Mules were named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll with grade point averages of 3.0 or better: Victor Brancato, Carlos D’Armas, Alex Duvall, Blake Edwards, Grant Gavin, Dylan Hanson, Colton Hilbrenner, Brad Jelinek, Ross Juliana, Blake Kolons, Payton Logan, Billy Maloney, Matt Milner, Collin Nevil, Miles Orscheln, Brady Pfeiffer, Reece Ponak, Adam Schemenauer, and Austin Southmayd.

REVIEW
Tom Szimanski to the mound for the top of the ninth. Szimanski had allowed just two earned runs all season. When he left after retiring just one of six batters, he had been charged with two runs and left the bases loaded. They didn’t stay loaded very long, though. Eric Stuckenschneider walked to force in a run, then Morgan Burkhart, the Mules’ starting pitcher who had stayed in the game as the DH, ripped a double barely fair down the left field line to clear the bases. The Mules led 14-8 going to the bottom of the ninth, but the Mocs loaded the bases with no outs. Smith then went to work and retired the next three batters and the Mules had made history with a 14-9 victory. Senior third baseman Rick Ladjevich was named NCAA Division II Player of the Year after batting .460 with 14 homers and 97 RBI, and Van Horn was selected Division II Coach of the Year (even though he was not named MIAA Coach of the Year). All-America honors also went to Stuckenschneider (first-team outfielder), who had overcome a rare blood disorder that very nearly ended his career, and former walk-on Bob Poisal (pitcher). Indeed, the Mules’ trail to the 1994 title James Smith – winning pitcher in the title game. may have been Photo Courtesy/Montgomery Examiner improbable, but it certainly was successful and became the dream of a lifetime come true – 1994 NCAA Division II National Champions.
MULES BASEBALL
To say that the Mules’ improbable trek to the 1994 national title followed an unusual trail would be a vast understatement. After all, this was a team that didn’t have a head coach six weeks before its season Dave Van Horn began. Dennis Woody 1994 NCAA Division II Coach of the Year had built the team for his fourth season as head coach, but in November the Kansas City Royals offered him a chance to join their scouting department. It was a career move he felt he couldn’t pass up. There was no shortage of applicants for the job – 108 to be exact. After Dave Van Horn interviewed for the job, there was no question who the next Mules’ head coach would be. Van Horn had built a successful program at Texarkana Junior College and also had strong ties to the University of Arkansas, where he had been a player and later an assistant coach. He had been a winner wherever he had been. Little did Mules fans know what an impact he would have. After going 38-9 in the regular season, the Mules opened postseason play. Central battled through the losers bracket to down Missouri-St. Louis 6-1 and 8-4 to claim the MIAA title. Now it was on to the NCAA Regional and again the Mules got to play on their home field. First they defeated Northern Colorado in a 7‑5 thriller before unleashing a pair of awesome offensive displays, pounding South Dakota State 20-8 and 19-7. Next stop: Montgomery, Alabama, for the NCAA Division II Championship. At Montgomery, the Mules found themselves seeded second in the eight-team field behind top-ranked Florida Southern. After defeating California-Riverside, 9-6, in game one and Armstrong State, 8-7, in game two, the Mules dropped a 10-3 decision to perrenial power Delta State University. Not to be deterred, though, Central came back and beat the Statesmen 8-2 to advance to its first-ever trip to the national championship game, where the Mules faced powerful Florida Southern, the team ranked number one in Division II throughout much of the season and a school that had won seven previous national titles. After two innings, the Mules were trailing 4-0. After five innings, the Mules had gotten on the scoreboard, but still trailed 6-2. Florida Southern decided to go for the knockout punch and brought in pitching ace David Harris, even though he had pitched a nine-inning complete game the day before. But a six-run sixth inning sent Harris to the showers and put the Mules ahead for the first time. After Florida Southern tied the game in the eighth, the Mocs sent relief ace

2003 National Championship Another year, another title for the Central Missouri Mules. This time though, it wasn’t simply a league or regional crown. No, in 2003, the Mules went out and won the whole enchilada for the second time in school history. Unlike their first crown in 1994 when the numbers didn’t speak highly for the Mules, the 2003 squad put up some impressive statistics. UCM was fourth in the nation in batting, fifth in scoring, sixth in fielding, and seventh in team earned run average. The Mules baseball team clinched the MIAA regular season title with season-ending sweeps of Washburn and Northwest Missouri State, and then downed Missouri Western and Brad Hill 2003 NCAA Division II Emporia State to claim Coach of the Year the league tournament title. Next UCM rolled through the Regional Tournament with a 3-0 mark, defeating Minnesota-Duluth in the opening round and taking two from Rockhurst. Then it was on to Montgomery, Ala. for the fourth year in a row. The Mules swept through the field, going 4-0, to win their second national championship. In the opening round, the Mules drew Grand Valley State University. It took a stellar pitching performance by junior righthander Danny Powers and some late-inning heroics to pick up the 3-2 win. Powers scattered five hits in eight innings and struck out four while walking none for the win. Still, it was 2-2 going into the ninth. Steve Downey took care of that, as he singled to right, stole second and third, and scored the game-winner on Tommy Bryant’s sacrifice fly to shallow left field. Eric Horner then worked a perfect ninth to pick up his school-record 15th career save. Game two was not nearly as exciting, as UCM thumped Franklin Pierce 11-4. Carrying a 3-2 lead through three innings, the Mules exploded for six runs in the fourth. Phil Sobkow struck out nine to get the win, while Zach Norman went 4-for-5 with a pair of runs scored. And then the excitement began again. It was deja vu all over again for the Mules in the semifinals of the D-II Championships. After dropping a pair of games in extra innings in the 2002 World Series, the Mules found themselves in a similar position against Kennesaw State. But unlike those two efforts the previous year, this time it was Central Missouri which stood on top, as reliever Steve McReynolds, who hadn’t pitched in three weeks, came on to hold the Owls at bay. Leading 4-3, Steve Murphy extended the advantage in the sixth with a mammoth home run to center field. Kennesaw State, though, rallied with a run in the seventh, and Clint Watters homered to right off Mules closer Eric Horner in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5. McReynolds’ effort (three innings of scoreless relief) set the stage for Zach Norman, as the All-America third baseman singled home Danny Guidry in the bottom of the 13th to advance the Mules to the championship game against Tampa. The Championship game, like round two, was all Mules. Up 3-0, UCM saw Tampa score four runs in the fourth.

But UCM responded with two runs in the sixth, another in the seventh, and five in an eighth-inning explosion, highlighted by Zach Norman and Joe Strada home runs. Danny Powers again claimed the win, allowing seven hits and four runs while striking out four over seven innings. Steve Downey was unstoppable in the contest, going 5-for-5 with two runs, an RBI, a double, and a stolen base to lead the Mules to their second national championship. The Mules finished 51-7 on the year and became the only team in NCAA Division II history to ever win 50 games four consecutive years. They were an amazing 25-1 in conference action. Junior first baseman Joe Strada and junior third baseman Zach Norman were named second-team All-Americans. Strada batted .415 with 22 doubles, seven triples, 11 home runs, and 84 runs batted in, while Norman hit .411 with 21 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 87 RBI, and 17 stolen bases. Sophomore Danny Powers went a perfect 10-0 on the year with a 2.49 ERA. Junior lefthander Nick Denning was 9-1 on the season, and junior Phil Sobkow finished 8-0 with 82 strikeouts in 68.2 innings of work. Sobkow was drafted in the 10th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Norman signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Mules in the Pros Morgan Burkhart
Boston - 2000-01 • Kansas City - 2003 Morgan Burkhart made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox on June 27, 2000 and, in doing so, became the first former Mules’ baseball player to appear in a major league game. In his first major league at-bat, Burkhart singled off the Orioles’ Mike Mussina. He was 2-for-4 in the game. He wound up playing in 25 games with the Red Sox in 2000, hitting .288 with four home runs and 18 RBI. In 2001 Burkhart spent most of the season at Pawtucket (R.I.), where he hit .269 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI. He made his second trip to the major leagues that year, when he played in 11 games with Boston, hitting .182 with one home run and four RBI. However, the Red Sox released him after the 2001 season. In 2002, Burkhart played in 42 games with Japan’s Fukuoka Daiei Hawks before being signed by the Kansas City Royals for the 2003 season. In six games for the Royals, he went 3-for-15 (.200). Burkhart spent most of the season with Kansas City’s Triple A affiliate in Omaha, Neb., where he batted .251 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles, and 57 RBI. A key member of the Mules’ 1994 national championship team, Burkhart had spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues before being called up. With Pawtucket in 2000, he hit .255 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI. Before the Red Sox signed him to a minor league contract in 1998, Burkhart had enjoyed a stellar career in the independent Frontier League for Richmond, Indiana. He won three league MVP awards and was Baseball America’s Independent Player of the Year in 1998, when he hit .404 with 36 home runs and 98 RBI in 80 games. In fact, the Frontier League Most Valuable Player award is now named in his honor. In 1999 he was named MVP of the Mexican winter league after hitting 18 home runs and driving in 55 runs in 67 games. As a major leaguer, Burkhart finished his career with 121 at bats, five home runs, 23 RBI, and a .248 batting average. Photo courtesy of Boston Red Sox

Josh Outman
Oakland - 2008-09, 2011 • Colorado - 2012-13 • Cleveland/New York (AL) - 2014 • Atlanta 2015 Josh Outman became the second Central Missouri player to make his major league debut when the lefty tossed two scoreless innings for the Oakland Athletics against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on September 2, 2008. He became the first player to begin the season on a major league roster in 2009, and made 12 starts for the A’s with a 4-1 record before suffering an elbow injury in late June that put him out for the year. In 2005, the St. Louis, Mo. product was the No. 2 pitcher for the top-ranked Central Missouri Mules at the Division II College World Series. He finished his career at UCM with a bang as well, tossing an eight-inning, seven strikeout performance that defeated Delta State 2-1 on May 30, 2005. After the season he was one of five Mules pitchers drafted in the top 11 rounds of the 2005 First Year Player Draft (more than any other school that season). He was picked in the 10th round by the Philadelphia Phillies and quickly moved up in that organization until July 2008, when he was involved in a trade for Joe Blanton that sent him to the Oakland A’s farm system. Outman was traded to the Colorado Rockies in a three-player deal in January 2012 and has also made stops with the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves.

Future-Focused Academics
The world moves at a faster pace than ever before. UCM’s innovative programs use new technologies to keep students up to date on the latest changes in their fields of study. Our faculty members are accomplished in their fields as well. They bring their experiences in industry and academia to their classrooms for our on-campus students in Warrensburg and Lee’s Summit, as well as to their virtual classrooms through our online programs.
Hands-on Experience
Learning by doing is a cornerstone of our 150 academic programs. Through hands-on experiences, students take their knowledge from the classroom and apply it in real-life situations. Whether it’s conducting research with faculty members, developing a business plan for a local company or battling it out in a national criminal justice competition, UCM students graduate well prepared for the future with practical, applicable experience.
Culture of Service
For more than 140 years, UCM’s motto, “Education for Service,” has been embodied by students who volunteer countless hours assisting communities, businesses and non-profit agencies.
This tradition continues today when student groups clear debris after a tornado or build homes for local families through Habitat for Humanity. Service has always been a foundation of the university. By learning at a university that values that service, UCM students continue to make an impact on their communities long after they graduate.
Global Perspective
UCM values diversity in thought, culture and people. As a result, the university takes a worldly perspective on education and prepares students to thrive in a globalized economy.
President Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of UCM students, faculty and staff, and Warrensburg residents on July 24, 2013 at the UCM Student Recreation & Wellness Center.

Charles M. Ambrose, Ed.D., became the 15th president of the University of Central Missouri on Aug. 1, 2010. A career educator who is a fervent advocate of servant leadership and engaged learning, he is committed to promoting academic quality, excellence in teaching and the collegiate experience. During his first year at UCM, President Ambrose helped guide the institution through the building of a new Strategic Governance Model in partnership with the Association for Governing Boards.

Ambrose sought to build student enrollment, an effort that continues to pay off with the largest enrollment in the university’s 140-year history. He has also begun a major initiative to encourage and provide assistance for students to graduate college within four years with less debt. The president continues to build strong relationships with the men and women who serve this country. This includes the establishment of the Whiteman Advantage Program, which brings together personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base and the university to work cooperatively in creating new educational opportunities for military members. The university also developed the Military Tuition Package, which provides savings on an education for military men and women currently serving their country, as well as their spouses and dependents, and veterans. Under his direction, the university developed a new strategic positioning initiative to provide a more articulated understanding of what makes UCM unique and helped guide the institution in establishing its future priorities. In fall 2012, Ambrose launched the new Missouri Innovation Campus, in collaboration with the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District and private industry, which will allow students to begin college during their junior year of high school and complete a degree in four years with little or no debt.

Entering the 2015 fall semester, the Mules and Jennies have won 151 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association championships, eight national championships, had 45 other top four NCAA finishes, and made more than 260 NCAA post-season appearances during Hughes’ tenure. The Central Missouri athletic program also won the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association All-Sports Trophy each year from 1998-99 (the year of the award’s inception) until the award was discontinued in 2002-03. UCM finished second in the NACDA Directors’ Cup in 2010-11, the best finish in school and MIAA history after finishing third the previous two years. In the 20 year history of the Directors’ Cup, UCM has twelve Top 10 finishes and eighteen Top 20 finishes. Hughes was named Central Region Athletics Director of the Year for the 1998-99, 2001-02 and 2010-11 seasons as selected by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He is the first three-time winner at any NCAA level--in the history of the Athletics Director of the Year program. Hughes has been Central Missouri’s athletics director since Jan. 25, 1983. Prior to that, Hughes had served as associate athletics director since July of 1981. In 1991-92, he served as the Mules’ interim head basketball coach and guided the team to a 15-13 record. Hughes has been a Division II member of the NCAA Executive Committee and chairman of the Division II Championships Committee. He also served a term as NCAA Vice President for Division II and has been a member of the NCAA Council, making him the only person to twice hold the highest-ranking office available to athletics administrators in NCAA Division II.

Why the Mules? Take a Mule Refresher and Learn What’s So Special about Missouri’s State Animal
Often called mankind’s most successful hybrid, mules are the offspring of crossing a male donkey or jack with a female horse or mare. Since they can’t reproduce, mules have been bred one generation at a time for more than 3,000 years. A strong, resourceful beast of burden, the mule can outwork, outpull, outlive and outsmart a horse of similar size and type. In 1995, the mule became Missouri’s official state animal, but the long-eared creatures have been known as “Missouri Mules” long before then. The term, “Missouri Mules,” was used casually until it became famous at the historic 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. At that exposition a six-mule hitch belonging to W. A. Elgin of Platte County swept all competition, and a mule from a Morgan County farm received the $10,000 Mayor’s Award. Newspaper accounts of this show-ring prowess brought worldwide attention to the state’s mule breeders and helped assure that the largest and finest animals would be known as “Missouri Mules.”
Many people assume that the relationship of mules and jennies is the same as that of siblings, but jennies are female donkeys. So, the relationship of mules and jennies is really the same as nephew/niece and aunt. Jenny is a common name but technically a female donkey is a jennet. Popular with farmers and settlers because of its hardy nature, Missouri Mules pulled pioneer wagons to the Wild West and played a crucial role in moving troops, artillery and supplies in several wars. In fact, many of the mules used in World War I were shipped by train from Warrensburg. The mule’s affiliation with Central Missouri dates back to the early 1920s. When the 1921-22 school year began, school officials decided “Normals” and “Teachers” were no longer appropriate nicknames for UCM’s athletic teams. Therefore, the school’s Athletic Committee established a contest that promised the winner a three-year postgraduate subscription of the school newspaper. More than 80 suggestions were received, but the winning entry was submitted by John Thomason of Chilhowee, class of 1924, who felt at least one Missouri team should be known as “Mules.” Central Missouri’s fifth mascot - Mancow - is the university’s first real Missouri mule. The line-back brown mule comes from Paradise Mules in Belle, Mo. It took several months for farm manager Dave Ewing to find the perfect mule. He was determined to acquire the right mule trained to remain calm around big crowds and loud noises - that game cannon gets loud! Mancow the Mule is the second UCM mule to be tall (14.1 hands), a result of her thoroughbred heritage. The university’s first three mules were Shetland Pony breeds. She’s the second mule to be presented to the university as a gift. Erich “Mancow” Muller, ‘88, made a gift to purchase the new mascot. Abbedale, her immediate predecessor, was donated to the university by 1938 alumnus and well-known mule producer, Sam Smiser from Newhall, Calif. The 10-year-old mare mule represented the university at home football games and other events. UCM agriculture students care for her at Prussing Farm, a few miles east of Warrensburg on Division Road. Following her first appearance at the 2004 Missouri State Fair, Mancow saw her first game action, as Central Missouri hosted MIAA-rival Northwest Missouri State on Sept. 11.

Top 10 Reasons to Admire a Mule
1 0. Affectionate and loving as a dog 9. Can carry heavy loads, up to 300 pounds 8. Rarely miss when they aim to kick something 7. Jump amazing heights from a stand-still start (go watch a mule jump at a county fair - it’s amazing!) 6. Have a laid-back style and won’t be rushed 5. Valued so highly, once bought sight unseen 4. Inspire attitudes - cum mula peperit (when a mule foals), similar to once in a blue moon 3. Knows when to quit (hence its reputation for stubbornness) 2. Intelligent and not afraid of working 1. Because it became our mascot in 1922, over the skunk, bobcat and hippopotamus! 96

Welcome to Warrensburg, Missouri Warrensburg, Missouri is a friendly community of 18,000 people near the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and Missouri Route 13. It is located just 40 miles southeast of suburban Kansas City, with its many cultural offerings, entertainment options and professional sports franchises. The county seat of Johnson County, Warrensburg is just four hours from St. Louis and three hours from Branson, Mo., with easy access by highway, Amtrak, or Greyhound bus. Other recreational opportunities include the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks 90 minutes to the southeast. Warrensburg is a city that emerged from a frontier gathering place more than 150 years ago. In 1833, a blacksmith from Kentucky named Martin Warren chose a well-travelled spot along an Osage Indian Trail to build a cabin and set up his blacksmith shop. His shop served as an informal gathering place for local farmers. Three years after moving to Missouri, Mr. Warren’s shop was named the county seat of the newly created County of Johnson. The township was named Warren’s Burg in honor of the local blacksmith, and in 1855, the township was incorporated and became the City of Warrensburg. It is that same strong midwestern work ethic displayed by its founder, and the same friendly atmosphere shown by his neighbors that may be seen in Warrensburg today. In the late 1800s and early 1900s Warrensburg was considered the Missouri Mule Capital because of the Horse and Mule Barn operated by the Jones Brothers on Railroad Street. Mules from the area won prizes at the State Fair (located just 30 minutes east in Sedalia, Mo.) and at even larger expositions like the one in St. Louis in 1904. The mule barn carried the motto, “Through these portals passed the meanest mules on earth.”
George Graham Vest on September 23, 1870: “The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.” Today the city’s Park Department has eight park areas with a total of 326 acres, and a Community Center which offers a wide variety of recreational activities. Two public golf courses are available in town -- one at the Hidden Pines Country Club, and another at Pertle Springs, operated Photo courtesy of United States Air Force by the University of Central Missouri.
