  • This is easily the best house museum I've ever visited. Katie, our tour guide, was expert-level knowledgeable about Benton, his family, and the home and was wonderfully engaging by asking us questions and starting conversations. I had no idea that this place is the smallest national park in the US at a 1/3 of an acre! Very intimate experience and I felt like I came away with so much knowledge and insight. I hope to visit again soon and go on the Roanoke Walking Tour Katie put together.
  • I knew little about Thomas Hart Benton before coming to the museum, (Didn't even know his biggest works) and I feel like I left an expert. The tour is great. Informative, funny and just the right amount of time (45ish minutes). The Benton's house and the studio are filled with their possessions, so it really looks like they stepped out for the afternoon. Definitely a special place for Kansas City and Missouri history.
