New Short Term Exhibit: KC Fire!
This exhibit in partnership with the Kansas City Fire Historical Society will tell the story of the KCFD and the City’s Black Firefighters.
Photographs and uniforms from within the Black Archives Collection will be on display, with multiple items from KCFHS, including game well boxes, helmets, photographs, nozzles, and more, will be on display.
This is a once in a lifetime display of materials rarely seen in public. The exhibit will be on display in the Rotating Gallery of the Black Archives of Mid-America from December 2- December 29, 2025 Monday- Friday 9am-5pm.
The Reception will include refreshments, a trivia game on the history of KCFD history, a chance to meet Paul Fergusson, President of KCFHS and Ray Elder, Historian of KCFHS, a modern fire truck, and weather permitting, an antique fire truck.
