Faucett is an unincorporated community in southern Buchanan County, Missouri (USA). It is located sixteen miles north of Platte City on Interstate 29/U.S. Route 71. The community is part of the St. Joseph, MO–KS Metropolitan Statistical Area. It derives its name from Robert Faucett, who was a local miller when the Chicago Great Western Railroad established the community in 1890.〔http://shs.umsystem.edu/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_buchanan.html〕 The community's most notable landmark is the Farris Truck Stop on Interstate 29 which has a 1974 Peterbilt truck, with a 1965 Fruehauf trailer standing 50 feet high to advertise the truck stop.〔http://www.cardcow.com/235222/farris-truck-stop-faucett-missouri/〕 The second highest (behind Ste.Genevieve) collection of meteorites in the state of Missouri have been found around the community (100 kg.) with most believed to have fallen in 1907.〔http://meteorites.wustl.edu/missouri_meteorites.htm〕 ==Notable natives== *Esther George, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faucett, Missouri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
