Most visitors know all about Kansas City’s barbecue, jazz, and football success, but there are hidden gems and wild pieces of trivia around every turn in Missouri’s largest city. Is the giant Hereford bull anatomically correct? Can a seed that’s been to outer space still grow into a normal tree? And who really killed President William Henry Harrison? You’ll find answers to the questions you didn’t know you had in Secret Kansas City: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure.
Join us as author Anne Kniggendorf discusses some of her favorite historical stories from Secret Kansas City. In addition, Wornall/Majors Curator Sarah Bader-King will also give attendees a sneak peek into the surprising history of an item in the museums’ collection not currently on display.
