Missouri was a side trip, that was in the middle of our time in Lawrence, Kansas. While Jeanene had to check on a few post-op patients, we headed over to Kansas City, Missouri. We hadn’t been in Missouri with the MINI yet, but we had a plan. There is the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in KC that we had read about and wanted to visit.

We headed over to the Missouri side of Kansas City and had a BBQ lunch, then went to the museum. It was an interesting and well-done museum about the black players not being allowed on the white teams, so they made their own teams and leagues, which were quite successful. Most of the Major League Baseball owners were reluctant to put a black player on their team, but there was no denying the talent that should be brought over to play in MLB.

After the museum, we came across the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. We didn’t have time to go through the museum, but we did walk around on the grounds and enjoyed the viewpoint. The very windy viewpoint. 🙂
