Wander through the beautiful grounds of the Kansas City Museum at our picnic. You'll see why the former R.A. Long family estate was renowned for its elegance.

This year, our annual picnic happens in the fall and we’re planning some fabulous fall fun. This year, members can participate in a chili cook-off under the tent

(judged by Kansas City food critic Charles Ferruzza), and enjoy food, music and numerous activities including crafts, games and a horse drawn hayride down Gladstone Boulevard.

Enjoy music, refreshments and fun activities for kids and grownups.

It’s a Centennial picnic with fun and games for all of our valued members. Adult members can take a hard hat tour of Corinthian Hall, and we’ll hear about conservation of artifacts and collections. It’s the best chance all year to mingle with Museum fans and learn what’s in store for the next century at Corinthian Hall.

Best of all, it’s absolutely free for current members

(renew now online or by check at the door).

Please RSVP here for the picnic >>
