I hope to take my grandson on an official train ride before school starts, from KC to Sedalia and back. We will have roughly 2.5 hours stopover. Is there somewhere nearby to eat or anything to do during that time? I cant walk TOO far. (1/2 mile?)

You can call ets taxi here in Sedalia and they charge $10.00 for any where in Sedalia. Many food places. Just ask the taxi driver what your looking to spend and what kind of food you like and he should help you. I'm a driver myself.

Khedes BBQ is very good. Little Big Horn Cattle Company is also very good.

Ther's nothing close bte to eat. There are some antique(second hand stores close to the Amreack Station). The Pettis County Courthouse has some historical displays. Ut's a boyt 5 blocjs South of the depit on Ohio St. Hope this answers uoyr wuestoon.
