Kansas City World War I Museum

While we were in Kansas city we went to the World War I Museum. Most of the museum was underground with a large tower above.

When we were there we got an audio tour. It taught us all about the war. We heard that the war started when Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was killed in Serbia. We saw the uniforms and weapons that the soldiers from different countries used in the war. We learned about the trenches and how dangerous and horrible it was. There were a couple of short movies to watch also.

After the museum we went outside to the tower. We took an elevator up to the top of the tower. It was scary to look over the edge but we had a great view of Kansas City.

The museum was very well done. There was a lot of information about the war. If you are ever in Kansas City go to the World War I Museum.

saddest story

Recently we went to a Oklahoma City Memorial Museum about the bombing of the federal building that was destroyed by Timothy McVeigh. While it was fun to learn at the museum, it was very sad to read about the innocent people and children that died.

Timothy McVeigh was a bad person who bombed a federal building and there was a daycare and  it killed many people, including children. It was devastating.

In the museum there was stuff about the bombing and about McVeigh and Terry Nichols. They talked about McVeigh's arrest and the weapons and things he was carrying.

Outside the museum, there were a bunch a chairs to represent the people that died in the bomb and there was reflecting pool and it was just so sad.

This is a very sad place to be and deep down I was crying.
