One of the best things about Kansas City assisted living facilities (ALF) is their affordability. We’ll show you average costs as well as what you can expect from this Kansas city.
Be sure to visit Kaw Point Park at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. On June 24, 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived at this point to rest for three days, repair boats, and explore the area. For views of both rivers, there’s a 1,500-foot-long boardwalk that’s wheelchair accessible and canopied walking and biking trails. Quindaro was a town founded in 1856 and was an important station on the Underground Railroad for slaves escaping to Nebraska and beyond. Today, you’ll find the ruins of the town, a museum and the remnants of Western University, a school for the children of escaped slaves.
Popular cultural activities include the KCK Downtown Second Friday Artwalk, the Plaza Art Walk and the Crossroads Arts District. The Kansas City Repertory Theatre with its two venues—Spencer Theatre and Copaken Stage—is the place to see theatrical performances. To see works of emerging artists as well as established professionals, visit the Kaw Valley Arts and Humanities Gallery.
