Founded on September 11, 1855, Windsor is located in West Central Missouri, at the intersection of five state highways, on the famous Katy Trail, a 200-mile hiking and biking trail, and near Truman Lake, one of the Show Me State's largest fishing and recreational lakes.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT NEWS ...
Mrs. Jeanne Beas, Windsor Emergency Management Director, is now also the Henry County Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC) Chairman as well as the Missouri Regional Homeland Security Oversight Committee (RHSOC) Region A Tertiary Alternate for Emergency Management. She brings a wealth of training, experience, and knowledge to these positions, benefitting the City of Windsor, Henry County, and the State of Missouri greatly. Due to her hard work, she has already created an Emergency Management Plan for Windsor where none existed previously. She is currently in the process of dealing with a myriad of issues associated with emergency management. One very important issue is Windsor's Emergency Warning Sirens. Mrs. Beas will ensure that the City of Windsor tests the outdoor warning sirens the third Wednesday of each month at 1 pm. This will only be a test. If the weather is questionable where someone might think it is a real warning, the sirens will not be tested until the following month. This is to assure that the test is not mistaken for a real warning. If a real warning is issued, the sirens will be sounded. In a tornado warning, everyone should take shelter inside, preferably in a basement or interior room with no windows. Sirens are meant to warn citizens that are outside and may not be heard if you are inside your home. For the best warning system inside your home, day and night, Mrs. Beas recommends that an emergency weather alert radio be obtained.

Relocating to Whiteman Air Force Base ... consider Windsor.

Windsor is home to a very large and thriving Amish community. Visit one of their businesses ... the Amish General Store, one of their three greenhouses, the 4-County Produce Auction, the piece goods store, and many more.
