The Fairy Princess has been a tradition at Kansas City Museum for more than 20 years, and originated in the toy department at the Kline's Department Store downtown in 1935.
The Fairy Princess first appeared in Kansas City, Mo. in 1935 in the toy department at Kline’s Department Store, one of the many department stores located within the downtown shopping district. Kline’s Fairy Princess delighted children for as many as 30 years until the closing of Kline’s in the 1970s.
Twenty years ago, The Kansas City Museum at Corinthian Hall revived the Fairy Princess tradition. Over the years, many lovely young women of Kansas City have participated in the Fairy Princess court, attending slipper camp and honing their skills as good listeners. Thousands of area children have whispered holiday wishes in the Princess’ ear, and experienced the magic and splendor of the season at Corinthian Hall. View the Fairy Princess photo gallery >>
