Shoal Creek Living History Museum, nestled on 80 acres within Kansas City's Hodge Park, is a captivating destination that offers visitors a glimpse into the past. Operated by the Shoal Creek Association, a completely volunteer-based organization, the museum features thirteen authentic 19th century buildings, including log cabins and homes relocated from surrounding counties, creating a charming village setting.

With a focus on preservation and historical education, Shoal Creek Living History Museum hosts special events where re-enactors bring the village to life through skits, skirmishes, and demonstrations. Proceeds from these events support the museum's educational programs, building restoration, operations, and grounds beautification, ensuring the preservation of Missouri's rich history for generations to come.
