Story of the Museum and Memorial
Shortly after the Armistice, Kansas City residents built the Liberty Memorial to honor those who served and died in the Great War and to serve as a beacon of freedom to the world. Today, Kansas Citians continue that legacy through an internationally-recognized museum, illuminating the war's global impact and enduring influence.
