Learned many new things pertaining to Kansas Cities history. I did reminisce and miss the way it once was. However with the new old fashioned soda and ice cream parlor below that now serves alcohol and provides a billiards 🎱 room to enjoy in some game's while enjoying the entirety of it all. Great date idea!

This is one of my favorite places in Northeast it is absolutely in the landmark category we are so blessed that it is been refurbished and Brought back to life. Take your family here to enjoy the history and pack a picnic to walk across the street and look over the beautiful view of the rail yards in the river

A perfect size museum for me bezza it's easy to get through it with out a full day commitment. If you are like the princess and want to read everything I guess you might spent a few days here but it's not necessary to enjoy this venue. Recently restored the Kansas City museum is quite beautiful and a special place to be sure and visit when you can. Although not completely finished the recent renovation is fantastic as an attempt has been made to bring it back to original grandeur. The section devoted the Kansas City history was the most interesting for me. Donations are requested at the door and although appreciated not required as admission as well as the parking are free.

A must see museum in Kansas City area. The ground floor of the museum tells the story of the Long family. This was their home from 1914 to 1932. Long family was the titans of the lumber industry from western Missouri to Longview, WA. The second floor is all about Kansas City history and third floor is art exhibition. There are free street parking around the museum and the admission is free.

It's a wonderful hidden gem in KCMO. So much KC history in one beautiful place, shown in unique ways. Great gift shop and an old fashioned Soda Counter that shouldn't be missed.

Newly restored national historic home! KC and Missouri history are well depicted and the exhibits are spectacular. Stairs or elevators access the entry and interior. 2nd floor KC history was my favorite as were the advances of medicines and medical instruments. Great history lesson and field trip for kids and adults. Homes nearby equally impressive.

@kansascitymuseum is a beautiful and informative way to spend an afternoon. The first floor is all about the Long family who owned and built the home, the second floor is all KC history, the third floor is an art exhibition floor, and the basement has a billiard room (where you can play pool) & a future soda fountain shop. Once the cafe and soda fountain shop are open this will be a place that you can truly spend a full day exploring all about KC. Also plan time to walk around the neighborhood, there are some beautiful homes to look at.
