Has anyone been to the WWI museum in Kansas City?
In town for the ravens game tomorrow and thought this looked like a fun thing to do today? @Chris Coleman

Trivia: in the 1910's the trenches around Peterburg were used for training
for WW1. They were much more in tact than today. ** Edited by HokieDan95 at 9/28/2025, 8:30:10 AM

Sorry no, but going to USAF museum
In Dayton soon to show my Hokie wife the plane her dad flew in WW2… His was one of the bomber groups saved when Vesuvius blew (major losses by US bombers that didn’t get airborne)…

WWI Museum is great
I live in Lee's Summit (just east of Arrowhead Stadium) and have been to the WWI Museum several times. I took my Dad (Marine Aviator) there about 6 years ago and thought I'd never get him to leave.😄

Perfect set up: beautiful day….
Spent morning at the market with wifey,(okay, I enjoyed it as well: sat in a $250,000 Lucent Sapphire that does 0-60 in 1.8) freeing me up for whole (unsupervised ) afternoon at the museum. Get there, trudge all the way up to the base of the tower: “sorry sir, the museum closes early in 30 min today for a private function…..”. Womp womp.. spent 30 min in the gift shop and a small display of artillery shells remaining in farmland to this day, and out the door. Dang. Ravens better win tomorrow!!!
