Kansas City Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

The largest metropolitan area in America's heartland, Kansas City straddles the border between two states—Kansas and Missouri. From its farming beginnings, contemporary Kansas City combines culture (visit the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art) with pioneer history at places like the Kansas City Museum.
