Oldest Kansas City

Published by Reedy Press in October 2025, Oldest Kansas City is Kansas City's newest oldest travel guide. My second book takes you around the Kansas City metro and beyond to discover the landmarks, businesses and people that shaped Kansas City from its earlier days. 

​

Here are a few teasers. The Kansas City area is home to America's first pair of cowboy boots, the world's oldest movie theater, Missouri's first Black-owned brewery, the nation's only World War I Museum and Memorial and the oldest operating spa in the state of Missouri.
