Union Cemetery Historical Society will be giving two walking tours of the Cemetery and we encourage you to join! Tours will begin at 6:30pm and at 7:30pm. Reserve your spot by ordering your ticket!
Founded in 1857, Union Cemetery is the oldest public cemetery in Kansas City, MO, and is the final resting place of over 55,000 souls. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the land was originally claimed and plotted out to be the cemetery for both the town of Westport and the town of Kansas (now Kansas City). Many famous and historically significant individuals are buried in the Cemetery, without whom, Kansas City would not be what it is today.
We hope you will join the party on May 10th in Union Cemetery! Patrick Saunders Fine Arts will judge the Quick Paint immediately following the final horn at 8pm.
This event is sponsored by Union Hill Kansas City and is free and open to the public.
