The Union Mill Opry auditorium, located just inside Buchanan County, north of Edgerton, Missouri. This place was a big draw for the area in the 1970s and 80s until it shut down. It is now somewhat in disrepair. Known for it's country and western, and gospel shows, people from all over the area would come to Edgerton to eat at Harmer's Café on Friday and Saturday nights and then go to the "Opry." Named after the Union Mill that used to be located on the Platte River near Edgerton. My cousin worked here for years, and I saw the Blackwood Brothers Quartet here on many occasions.
