uncertain. Based on the various maps in which it is shown, it apparently was in the general area of Higginsville Junction (I70 and MO13),

Another community just a few miles west of Concordia was named Freedom. The following account of this community is given in the 1881 History of Lafayette County as follows:
"The town of Freedom was laid out in 1860, by Franklin Mock, on section 9, township 48, range 25. [Note. This is between Mock and Bluejay Rds, north of Borland Rd] The plat was put on record. The first store, a frame building, two stories, 40x24, was erected by Wm. Kane, in which he carried on a general mercantile business. The first dwelling house erected, is the one in which Dr. Belt now lives. Messrs. Davis, Livengood& Son, put up and operated a grist mill, which has since been moved to Aullville. Wesley Cox put up the next store, and kept a stock of dry goods and groceries.
In 1857, three years prior to the platting of the town, a church building was erected by the Christian denomination, at a cost of $1,400. The Methodists purchased an interest in it, and occupied it a portion of the time. It has since been taken down and moved to Aullville, where it is entirely under the auspices of the Christians, the Methodists having a house of their own. Prior to the construction of the Lexington & St. Louis railroad, Freedom was a town of considerable importance; but rapidly declined after it was built and Aullville laid out.
