Drop-in History: Reconstruction in Missouri

Celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday by exploring Missouri’s stories right where they happened at the Wornall/Majors House Museums. This six-part series of free, drop-in programs invites you to wander, engage, and chat your way through hands-on history experiences.

Drop-In History: Reconstruction in Missouri arrives April 30. Delve into this less-talked-about era, marked by tense efforts to heal from war’s devastation in Kansas City and across Missouri. Explore informational signs about the period, a WMHM curator’s exhibit on Exodusters in Hell’s Half Acre, and a new fictional work taking place in the period by Tom Owens.

At 5:30, Mr. Dave will host an elementary storytime.

At 6:30 p.m., the Alexander/Madison Chapter of KC Buffalo Soldiers presents From Slaves to Soldiers at the front of the house.
