Tips from the community

18th and Vine is a historic district of Kansas City made famous during the roaring 20s and prohibition. Speakeasies may no longer line the district, but you will surely find a few thriving music scenes to check out. Stroll the neighborhood on this step back in history to see the jazz clubs where giants like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker created and performed hits that we still know by heart. Today, the neighborhood is also home to the American Jazz Museum.

  • The Best History Sites & Landmarks in Kansas City

    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.
