Country Club Walking Tour
Join Georgia Klein on a guided tour of 20 art and history sites in Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, including its sculptures, fountains, and towers reminiscent of Spanish architecture and European art. Designed and developed in 1922 by J.C. Nichols as the first shopping district away from a downtown area, and doubled in size in 1950 by his son, Miller, it became a sister city to Seville, Spain, in 1967. Learn about recent changes and hear stories of the creators. We'll enjoy a morning break with snacks and Q&A and share a delicious family style Italian meal at Buca di Beppo for lunch.
