Kansas City is filled with incredible buildings—but how often do we stop and look up? This Kansas City architecture and history tour takes you beyond the familiar skyline to discover the stories, people, and surprising history behind some of downtown Kansas City’s most fascinating buildings.

Did you know the Hotel Muehlebach was once known as the White House West? What determines whether a building is considered a skyscraper?
