#1173 Going Back in Time at the WWI Museum in Kansas City, Missouri

Prepare to be moved—perhaps to tears—on your visit to the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. Through interactive displays, detailed timelines, authentic artillery tanks and recreated bunkers, visitors get up close and personal with all things having to do with the "Great War." The military artifacts are fascinating, but what is most poignant (read: heart-wrenching) are the first-person testimonies, such as German schoolchildren's diary entries, soldiers' letters from the front, and U.S Army telegrams notifying mothers that their sons had died in battle.
