Unveiling the Carriage House Restoration: A Kansas City Treasure Transformed

Update Reviving a Historic Kansas City Landmark The Carriage House, a treasured piece of Kansas City history, is embarking on an ambitious restoration project scheduled to be completed by October 10, 2025. As the first building on the museum property, established in 1909, it plays a vital role in sharing the city’s agricultural, equestrian, and transportation narratives. Bringing Together a Talented Team The Museum of Kansas City is collaborating with a dedicated team including International Architects Atelier (IAA), JE Dunn Construction, and Gallagher & Associates (G&A). Together, they aim to preserve the Carriage House while crafting interactive and engaging exhibits that tell the stories of a diverse and dynamic region.

Celebrating the ingenuity of core industries such as livestock and grain processing. Connecting communities through transportation stories, linking urban experiences with rural roots. Creating a space that feels welcoming and highlights the diverse ways people experience home. Three Galleries for Exploration Visitors will have an opportunity to explore three thoughtfully curated galleries in the Carriage House: The First Gallery: Delve into the reasons that inspired individuals and families to migrate to and from Kansas City. The Second Gallery: Learn how the places we inhabit are shaped by the stories of those who move through them. The Third Gallery: This rotating exhibit area will highlight significant connections, starting with the Santa Fe Trail and its journey to the Southwest. Building Community Connections This restoration and revitalization project is about more than brick and mortar. It’s a way to amplify the voices of local entrepreneurs and Kansas City business owners through themed exhibits and community engagement. Kansas City thrives on its grassroots initiatives, where every member contributes to the vibrant tapestry of the city. The stories of KC small business features and local success stories will resonate within the museum’s walls, celebrating innovation and resilience. A Vision for the Future The team behind the Carriage House project envisions a space that not only honors the past but also looks forward to the future. With an aim to raise funds, the museum hopes to complete design and planning by April 2026. How You Can Get Involved As a community-focused initiative, the museum encourages local residents and businesses to get involved. Whether it's through fundraising efforts or by simply sharing their own Kansas City stories, your participation can help shape the future of the city. Local organizations and people can unite to preserve history, foster creativity, and inspire the next generation of Kansas City local businesses. Stay Informed and Engage If you have a story to share or want to learn more about the Carriage House initiative, we invite you to connect with the community!
