Sedalia Attractions
Sedalia began as Sedville by Gen George R Smith with the first 1,000 acres in 1857. Three years later Smith filed a larger plat of land and named it Sedalia.
Sedalia was once the residence of the famous ragtime composer Scott Joplin, as well as the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, and the local library that was built in 1895 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
