The Gilliss House Guest Register: A Chronicle of Kansas City

David W. Jackson, archivist for the Jackson County (Mo.) Historical Society, recently collaborated with the Kansas City Museum as a "Community Curator," where he studied an important Kansas City document you should know more about. What was the Gilliss House hotel? Where was it? What's the story behind this guest book? Join us in the behind-the-scene's tour of the Kansas City Museum's collection storage areas at Union Station.

For additional information, check out Jackson's article in The Kansas City Star.

The Community Curator program of Kansas City Museum invites historians and history educators from the Kansas City community to share their perspectives on artifacts they choose from the Museum collection. Community Curator lectures are presented the 3rd Sunday of each month in Collections Storage at Union Station, allowing the actual artifact to be presented with the observations of the Community Curator.

FREE and open to the public. Meet at Information Booth, west end of main hall, Union Station.
