Uncover the hidden layers of one of Kansas City’s most beloved green spaces. Walk through the park’s surprising role in the Civil War as a battlefield during the 1864 Battle of Westport, when Union and Confederate forces clashed across what is now peaceful lawn. The tour will reveal how the land transformed from a private country club into a public park in memory of a biscuit magnate. Learn about everything from contemporary art installations, overlooked monuments, true crime, and friendly ducks. Join us for a journey into the city’s deep and sometimes surprising history.Tickets are $15 per person. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as this is a walking tour, and you’ll be standing and strolling throughout the entire experience.
A light drizzle won’t stop us, but in the event of inclement weather, we’ll reschedule for a later date. More information at:https://wornallmajors.org/events/loose-park-walking-tour/
