Kansas City Museum

Today I spent most of my day in or around the Kansas City Museum. This was the home of Robert A. Long who earned his fortune milling yellow pine logs in Louisiana. He lived here with his wife and his two daughters. He was a church going, teetotaling family man. This mansion contains some of the family belongings but also art exhibits, music exhibits, Native American belongings and information, a billiard table, a place to play chess or checkers, and a cafe with food and drinks and alcohol. There is information about the neighborhoods in Kansas City, the railroads, the cattle processing, and the history of floods. Robert Lang had two daughters. His second daughter became a great equestrian winning races in the United States and overseas.

Robert Long was a generous philanthropist. He had millions and millions of dollars. Before he died he had given nearly all of it away to people in Kansas City. 

After the museum I walked around the neighborhoods for a couple of days. Kansas City is known for it's fountains.
