US National WWI Museum

[Dan Morton]

This weekend, the US National Great War Museum opens in Kansas City, MO. Long overdue...

I believe it is located near the Liberty Memorial and Museum on West 26th Street. Can any PFer living in KC confirm that?

I can't make it this weekend, but soon....

All the best,
Dan

That's really good news Dan. I'll have to check that out. My son and I take a vacation every summer that includes a museum trip somewhere along the way. This one definitely makes the cut for next summer.

They have a web site.

That could be a neat museum. I'd be curious to see how "state of the art" the exhibits are. It would be neat to see the videos of the vets recounting their experiences.~Gary

You know what would be neat? What if we held a group get-together at the museum? Anybody interested? It would need to be planned way in advance, of course. Is there a local KC model figures group?

All the best,
Dan

 

[John Long]

I don't think there's a figure modelling group in KC. I can be there in about three hours though. I could do it with proper advance notice.

Same here, John. About 3 hours travel from Omaha. Let's see if anybody else is interested.

All the best,
Dan
