World War I Museum Kansas City, MO Updated
The Liberty Memorial - World War I Museum is a tour through world history that does not recieve a lot of attention today. This museum tells the story of WWI, how it began, the people involved, the struggles, etc. It is well worth the stop, and I highly encourage during a visit to take time and read all the little placards throughout the outer rim of the museum as well as those on the walls inside about specific individuals. They all tell a unique story and this puts a very emotional human element to this time period.- 12
