Day Four:
Today we will discover Kansas City with Laura, our local expert. In the late 1800s, Kansas City was on the cusp of transformation. As the country rapidly changed, this Midwestern town set out to become a bustling metropolis inspired by European cities like Paris, with wide boulevards, grand plazas, monuments, and beautiful fountains. Out of this ambitious era came one of the city’s many nicknames, the City of Fountains. Kansas City has more fountains than any other city in the world except Rome.
