National WWI Museum and Memorial

[Sedalia Dave]

 Only one in the US dedicated to WWI and well worth the visit.

One of our hometown treasures. If anyone of you passes thru Kansas City sometime, it’s a must-see.

I will second this.  A very good museum.  Visited a couple of years ago when visiting family. Unfortunately we didn’t time it right fo the local shoot.

I only got to see about 1/3 of the museum this trip. Next time I'm up to see my mom I'll go back and see the rest.

That WWI museum looks like a must see. I'll make a stop to see it when next in KC.

 

 

 The video was good. The Twilight Zone/music box soundtrack nearly drove me crazy tho.

The collection downstairs is relatively new, about 3 years old I think. The collection of helmets is incredible, especially those that were personalized by their wearers.
