Best Things To Do In Kansas City With Kids
"There aren’t many museums in the United States that show what baseball was like when it was segregated. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum does a good job at showing a timeline and sharing important facts to help people understand what things were like in the 1800’s. A lot of people don’t know that years ago, during segregation, black people were not being accepted into the minor and major baseball leagues so they had to form their own teams."

"Leila’s Hair Museum is the only hair museum in the world, boasting over 600 hair wreaths and over 2000 pieces of jewelry made of human hair. First-time visitors to the museum usually don’t know what to expect. There is no exact date that can be pinpointed as to when and where hair art began, but it is known to have flourished in the Victorian times and can be traced back to the 12th century."
