I like history and I like to go to museums and places like that. I do not feel the need to read every word of every display sign, though, so I don't think I've reached museum nerd level yet.
We have discovered the Kansas City branch of the United States Archives. It is located next to Union Station and if you are not paying attention, you can drive right past the entrance and miss it. I recommend finding it, though.
The first time we went was for the Deadly Medicine exhibit, which I have already written about. In June we went to see Mugged, a small exhibit on the history of Leavenworth Penitentiary and some of the prisoners there. Coming up is an exhibit featuring items loaned by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
Admission and parking are free. There is a bookstore, which for me is always a bonus. The only thing missing is a squashed penny machine. Maybe I'll suggest it next time we go.

I'm thinking about going down that way to take the kids to the U.S. Federal Reserve museum tour. Is it down there close to Union Station too?
