For a little history of the McCune Home:
The first juvenile court judge of Jackson County, MO was Judge Henry McCune.  He did not want to jail young boys who got into trouble, that had been from bad homes or orphaned. He thought they would benefit from a home type of environment. These boys were from ages 8 to 18 and were to have schooling along with a life skills program in the home and farm with house mothers and fathers.  The home first opened on April 16, 1908 and was on 100 acres, part of an old farmstead.
