The City Market

The City Market celebrates feeding Kansas City for 150 Years...! Since its inception in 1857, the City Market has been one of the largest and most enduring public farmers' markets in the midwest, linking growers and small businesses with the Kansas City community.

Combine an eclectic group of restaurants, shops, cafes, and the Arabia Steamboat Museum with a unique open-air setting, seven different languages and cultures, and 150 years of tradition. Then you have the City Market. City Market Merchants offer a variety of fresh produce, meats, seafood, specialty and prepared food items, flowers and gifts from across the world, including the Americas, Europe, the Middle and Far East.

Rain or shine, the region's largest Farmers' Market can be found at the City Market Saturday and Sunday year round. Over one hundred and forty vendor stalls burst with bedding plants in the Spring, Summer fruits, vegetables and herbs, plus fresh baked goods and other sweets, cut flowers and crafts made by local artisans. At the City Market, you'll indulge in the finest produce, fresh from Missouri and the surrounding region and benefit from unsurpassed value, all while supporting area farms!

Arthur Bryant's BBQ

This BBQ legend was founded in the early 1920's, by Charlie Bryant, Arthur's older brother. When Charlie died, Arthur took over and moved the BBQ restaurant to 18th and Brooklyn, just four blocks away from Municipal stadium, the home of the Kansas City Blues, followed by the Kansas City Athletics. Municipal Stadium was also the first home of the Kansas City Chiefs. With the move near to the ball park, it became a nationally known eatery. Major league players ate there and fans would stop in before the games to eat on the premises or take out to the ball park. The fame of Arthur Bryant's grew. Then renowned author Calvin Trillin declared in Playboy magazine that "...the single best restaurant in the world is Arthur Bryant's Barbeque at 18th & Brooklyn in Kansas City."

The Liberty Memorial

“In honor of those who served in the world war in defense of liberty and our country.” Inscription, on the Liberty Memorial tower in Downtown Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.

A community-based fund-raising drive in 1919 raised over $2,500,000 in less than two weeks through public subscription in Kansas City and around the nation. This staggering accomplishment reflected the passion of public opinion about the Great War, which so recently ended. Following the drive, a national architectural competition was held for monument designs by the American Institute of Architects.

The National World War One Museum
The Museum opened to rave reviews on December 2, 2006.
At the National World War I Museum, World War I history comes alive.
