This is another of the great small sites that the Missouri State Park system preserves. It provides a look not only into the artist's life, but into life over the time the Bentons lived in this... more »

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.

Historic gem! This tour was great - our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and made the subject so interesting. Always a fan of THB, it was amazing to see where he worked and lived. The house is beautiful and they've done a great job of keeping it real and inviting. So interesting the lives of the Benton's. A treasure for Kansas City and a must see for locals and visitors!
