Webster House
Historical Brick School House
Restaurant and Antique Shop
Kauffman Performing Arts Center
Webster House is one of Kansas City’s most unique destinations
located inside a restored Romanesque-style school next door to the
Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Webster House offers guests
a distinctive shopping experience along with remarkable dining.
Browsing through the antique shop you will find beautiful European
antiques, gifts, clothing, jewelry and personal accessories. Dine in the
award-winning restaurant with spectacular views of the Liberty
Memorial and downtown Kansas City with seasonal menus designed
around local artisanal ingredients.
It is the performance home to the Kansas City Symphony, the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and the Kansas City Ballet. The 285,000-square foot (26,500
m2) Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts houses two sophisticated performance halls: Muriel Kauffman Theatre and Helzberg Hall. The venues share
backstage space that runs the entire length of the Kauffman Center. There are dressing rooms that can accommodate more than 250 performers, along
with 11 rehearsal rooms. The Kauffman Center joins the Lincoln Center as another of the few performing arts centers in the country to have two (or more)
performance venues in one building. Another example is the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C.
This decision to have two halls, each tailored to a specific purpose, rather than a multipurpose building, reminded many Kansas City residents of a similar
decision in the 1970s—when Ewing Kauffman and city officials decided to build separate stadiums for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals,
rather than a single arena for both.
Friday, June 26 – steamboat Arabia TOUR – OPTION No. 2
$ 75
walking TOUR – no steps – plenty of seating DURING TOUR and THROUGHOUT THE MUSEUM
Includes Lunch
Once inside you will receive a guided tour of the Arabia’s remarkable treasures. Your tour will include a short film presentation in the Paddlewheel

cleaned and prepared for display. You will pass beside the Arabia’s engines and boilers located on the 171 foot-long replicated wood-planked deck
of the Arabia. There are no steps you must climb and seating is available throughout the museum.

NATIONAL World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial
Commemorative Ceremony 1940
Museum and Memorial -- Built By Kansas Citians, Embraced By the Nation
Soon after World War I ended, Kansas City leaders formed the Liberty Memorial Association (LMA) to
create a lasting monument to the men and women who had served in the war. In 1919, the LMA and
citizens of Kansas City raised more than $2.5 million in just 10 days. The equivalent of roughly $34
million today, this staggering accomplishment reflected the passion of public sentiment for the Great
War that had dramatically changed the world.
In 1921, more than 100,000 people gathered to see the supreme Allied commanders dedicate the site
of the Liberty Memorial. This was the first time in history these five leaders were together in one place.
Construction on the classical Egyptian Revival-style monument was completed in 1926 and the Liberty
Memorial was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in front of more than 150,000 people.
“It [The Liberty Memorial] has not been raised to commemorate war and victory, but rather the results of war
and victory which are embodied in peace and liberty…. Today I return in order that I may place the official
sanction of the national government upon one of the most elaborate and impressive memorials that adorn
our country. The magnitude of this memorial, and the broad base of popular support on which it rests, can
scarcely fail to excite national wonder and admiration.” - Liberty Memorial Dedication Speech, President
Calvin Coolidge, November 11, 1926
Enjoy Lunch at Kansas City’s Historical Union Station
Built in 1914, Union Station opens her arms with
850,000 square feet that originally featured 900 rooms.
In her prime as a working train station, she
accommodated hundreds of thousands of passengers
each year. During WWII, an estimated one million
travelers – many of them soldiers -- passed through the
Station. The North Waiting Room held 10,000 people,
the complex included restaurants, a cigar store, barber
shop, railroad offices, the nation's largest Railway
Express Building (used for shipping freight and mail) as
well as a powerhouse providing steam and power.
