As we continue to encourage lifelong learning, we realize that sometimes we can learn more by putting down the book, getting out of the classroom and going.

Go with us — let's travel together!

Kansas City Here We Come! BBQ, Jazz, Museums and More!

Oct. 12-14, 2022 (Wednesday-Friday, 3 days/2 nights)

Combine all the fountains in Rome with more boulevards than Paris, toss in award-winning BBQ and some lively jazz and you’ll have Kansas City!

Join Jean Welch and Ann Kramer as we travel to the “Paris in the Plains” where we’ll find unique architecture, visit world-class museums, and explore America’s first suburban shopping district.

Highlights

  • Discover a treasure chest of cargo recovered from the Steamboat Arabia that sank six miles off the Kansas City shore.
  • Learn how jazz music and baseball are preserved and promoted at the side-by-side American Jazz Museum and the Negro League Baseball Museum.
  • Explore exhibits at the World War I Museum that trace the conflicts and the role the United States played in the war.
  • Visit the Harry S. Truman Library for a look at the presidency of the “buck stops here” legend (If COVID-19 regulations permit).
  • Admire the majestic architecture of Union Station and the Spanish-inspired Country Club Plaza

The motor coach will leave the LLCC Cass Gym parking lot on Wednesday, Oct. 12, at 7:30 a.m. and return at approximately 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14.
