Uncover the hidden layers of one of Kansas City’s most beloved green spaces. Walk through the park’s surprising role in the Civil War as a battlefield during the 1864 Battle of Westport, when Union and Confederate forces clashed across what is now peaceful lawn. The tour will reveal how the land transformed from a private country club into a public park in memory of a biscuit magnate. Learn about everything from contemporary art installations, overlooked monuments, true crime, and friendly ducks. Join us for a journey into the city’s deep and sometimes surprising history.Tickets are $15 per person. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as this is a walking tour, and you’ll be standing and strolling throughout the entire experience.
Een lichte motregen houdt ons niet tegen, maar bij slecht weer zullen we de activiteit naar een latere datum verplaatsen.
