Tips from the community
In 1806, pioneers Lewis and Clark stopped in what is now Downtown Kansas City on their monumental journey. Stand in the same place Clark stood at Clark’s point and imagine what the city was before buildings and boulevards overtook the rural setting. From the location, visitors can see two states and the roaring Missouri River.

The Best History Sites & Landmarks in Kansas City
kaylee (Kaylee Giacomini) Kansas City is an important historic site on the banks of the Missouri River. Originating in the early 19th century, the city was once a stop on the way for pioneers to reach gold mining in California and Oregon. Some of the travelers never made it out west. Instead, they stayed back in the midwest and made Kansas City the bustling hub that it is today. Kansas City is geographically in the heart of the United States and serves as a major crossroads. Quite literally between the East and West coast, but also of varying people groups that have made the city what it is today.
