Peculiar, Missouri
Insurance in Peculiar, Missouri, Along the I-49 Corridor
Peculiar may have the best town name in Missouri. As the story goes, the first postmaster's pick, Excelsior, was already taken, so before the post office opened in 1868 he asked for a name that was "sort of peculiar" — and that's exactly what he got. Today it's a growing Cass County community along I-49, between Raymore and Harrisonville.
Shield Squad Agency is based in Independence, and Troy Lentz works with Peculiar families and businesses, along with neighbors in Raymore, Belton, and Harrisonville.

Local Know-How
Insurance Considerations for Peculiar
What we'd keep in mind for a home, car, or business in Peculiar.
- I-49 Commutes
- Highway speeds and heavy traffic toward Kansas City make liability limits and collision coverage worth reviewing on a regular basis.
- Growing Neighborhoods
- If you bought a newer home, double-check that your coverage includes upgrades, fences, and anything you've added since closing.
- Country Lots and Outbuildings
- Homes outside town often come with detached garages, sheds, or shops. Make sure your other-structures limit covers them.
- Cass County Storms
- Spring hail and high winds roll through Cass County most years. Know your roof's age and your deductible before the season starts.
- Winter on the Interstate
- Icy stretches of I-49 can catch people off guard. Collision coverage and roadside help are worth checking before the first freeze.
