Shadows of the Past: After-Hours Tours of the John Wornall House Museum

Cross the threshold of the historic John Wornall House Museum and discover the secrets that linger within its walls. Built in 1858 and standing as one of Kansas City’s last remaining antebellum homes, the Wornall House witnessed the turbulence of the Civil War, the challenges of frontier life, and the changing realities of the Victorian era.

During this special night tour, guests will experience a series of vignettes of both historic information and dramatic reenactments. Explore rooms where stories of hardship, resilience, and transformation unfolded.

Distinctly spooky but never supernatural, Shadows of the Past shines a light on the unsettling truths and real experiences that shaped the Wornall family, their neighbors, and this historic home.

Tours depart every 15 minutes between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
