Living the Great War Weekend
National WWI Museum and Memorial 2 Memorial Drive, Kansas City, Missouri
Have you ever wondered what it was like living during the time of the Great War?
Join us for our free, annual summer event! Featuring the Living History Volunteer Corps and other World War I living historians sharing their knowledge, we invite the public to inspect their collections in a camp setting on the Museum and Memorial grounds. The Kansas City Dawn Patrol will have several replicated WWI-era aircraft on display (weather permitting). As we are able, a children’s obstacle course will be available.
