Tips from the community
This late Victorian home was the residence of Thomas Hart Benton, American artist and visionary. Since his death in 1975, the home has been preserved as it was with all of the nostalgia of the 70’s coupled with the artwork and studio of Hart Benton. Walk the 2.5 stories, and marvel at the artwork in each room that is noted as some of the most significant of the 20th century.

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.
