The Friends of the Rice-Tremonti Home Association formed in 1988 as a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization with a mission to restore and preserve this historic landmark.


The all-volunteer group holds a variety of events opening the house to the public over the year. 


While the city of Raytown holds title to the property, the Friends of Rice-Tremonti are responsible for all fund-raising, preservation activities and ongoing maintenance.

The Rice-Tremonti Home dates from 1844 and is one of only seven antebellum homes remaining in Jackson County. Over its 175-year history the house was occupied primarily by three families: The Rice Family, (1844-1903) the Lowe Family (1908-1935) and the Tremonti family (1935-1987).


Over that span its residents witnessed the Westward expansion, via the three pioneer trails -- The Santa Fe, Oregon and California.


It survived the ravages of the Civil War and participated in the emancipation of slaves.
