Lone Jack, MO

Lone Jack is a small Missouri town about 30 miles southeast of Kansas City, reached via Highway 50 east from I-470. This rural Jackson County community of 1,400 sits amid rolling farmland and serves as a quiet residential area for Kansas City commuters. The town's name comes from a solitary jack oak tree that marked the location and later became the site of an 1862 Civil War battle, now preserved as a historic battlefield and museum.
