I posted this in the cool Sirhrmechanic's thread but thought it might be better appreciated in its own. You guys like history about the great war well come to Kansas City and tour the only WWI museum in North America. Its totally cool. I love the place cannot go there enough.

Check its website out too. National WWI Museum or the Liberty Memorial

Re: National WWI Museum

This place is great. I have been there a few times. Fits in great with the surrounding KC area also. If I am not mistakened, it is the only ww1 monument in the U.S. too.

Re: National WWI Museum

As many times as I've been to KC I didn't know that museum was there. Next time.

But now I know what to do with my poppy. Years ago I found a book at a garage sale, "Freedom Triumph" 1919.

A couple years later I was showing someone the book and found, between the pages an orginal Poppy from Flanders Field pressed in the pages.

Now I know where to donate my poppy when I pass on.

Re: National WWI Museum

One of the best museum's I have been to. Allow yourself all day to tour the WW1 Museum. The Truman Library is also in the K.C. area and has a nice museum.

There is also an excellent resturant across the tracks from the Amtrak station that is about a half mile or less from the WW 1 Museum. Wish I could remember the name of the resturant but they have great ribs and Prime rib dinners.

As long as we are talking museums, another great museum is the WW2 in the Pacific and Nimitz Museum in Fredricksburg Texas.

That place is going on my list of places to visit on a bike trip for sure. Thanks for the link.

For those who get over to London... Britain's Imperial War Museum is unreal.

Cheers,

Re: National WWI Museum

I just got back from Gardner.... and TRIED so hard to get there with some time and just couldn't pull it off. I was really let down, all work and no play. VJJ recommended it to me and I was all about it- alas. Maybe next year.
