Historic Garment District Museum

Historic Garment District Museum located in Kansas City MO

The Historic Garment District Museum, located at 801 Broadway Blvd. Kansas City, MO 64105, was founded and opened in 2002 by Ann Brownfield and Harvey Fried. Kansas City’s Garment District (an area defined as between 6th and 11th Streets, and Washington and Wyandotte Streets) rose up around the wholesale business area of the City’s downtown after World War I and grew steadily to become, at its peak, one of the largest garment districts in the nation and the second largest industry and employer (of women) in Kansas City.

The Garment District Collection highlights companies that helped make up Kansas City’s Garment District. At any time, approximately 20-25 items are on display of the more than 350 garments and accessories, made by local companies from the 1920s through the 1980s and includes numerous objects such as sewing equipment and advertising pieces.

The Garment District Collection of Kansas City-made garments and accessories allows the Kansas City Museum to add to its stellar collection of historical clothing, textiles, and costumes, which comprises more than 20,000 items in the Museum’s collection and is one of the best collections of its kind in the region.

In 2015, Ann and Harvey decided to retire and made the joint decision to donate their museum & collections to the Kansas City Museum.
