Just west of Union Station is the National Archives. They have a exhibit called We The People.

This is a 300 lb mirror originally owned by a madam of Kansas City.

I wasn't sure what I would find here but it was great. I would guess it's medium size for a museum. I spent about an hour there. I also played with all of the interactive stuff. The message through the entire museum is history and the archives. Anyone of us can come to the archives and do research. It is encouraged. You can research your family tree, legal stuff, government stuff, wars - all sorts of things. I think this place is probably overlooked being so close to Union Station. This was a great find.
Our inside time is going great.
Until tomorrow.
