Missouri Scenic Drives: Johnson County Loop/Raging Bull Steakhouse
The Johnson County Loop tours the area’s natural beauty and history. Begin on the grounds of Warrensburg’s Old Town on North Main Street and visit the 1838 Old Courthouse, site of the Old Drum trial. The site includes the 1913 Elm School, the Johnson County Museum, and the Mary Miller Smiser Heritage Library.
The Old Drum trial put Warrensburg on the map as home of “Man’s Best Friend,” a term coined by George Graham Vest in his eulogy delivered in his closing arguments at the trial over compensation of the shooting of a favorite hound, Old Drum, by a neighbor’s nephew. Old Drum was named the Missouri historical dog in 2017.
