If you have not made a full walking tour of the River Market area, you need to! One of the many…read moretreasures you will find is this mural, located on the West facade of the River Market Antique Mall. Most Kansas Citians have seen it, but I feel that not too many have actually really looked at it. I personally think it is just grand. I mean, am I a history nerd? Yes! Am I a sucker for public art? Yes! Ergo, I think historical public art is just tops! Many, if not all, know that our area was one of many stops along Lewis and Clarks long journey to the Pacific Northwest. They used our own Quality Hill to survey the river, and I'm sure at some point our own river to relieve themselves. How historically amazing! This very grand mural commemorates the launching of that journey. These two fair men launching an expedition into the wilds of the American West. In the mural you can see how the landscape may have looked along the river before the Army Corps of Engineers set the Mighty Mo to its current course in the early twentieth century, doing away its meandering through our fertile flood plains. Sacajawea and her famous wrapped baby are in the foreground along with her French-Canadian husband, both not looking very historical at all. Weren't they the guides or at least helped with such matters? It seems our artist thought they mostly stared at the ground, pondering as to why in a god's name they were helping these white dudes bring on an onslaught of Western explores who would systematically destroy the world as they new it.....but I digress. My favorite part of this piece, with out a doubt, is our fearless explorer giving the largest thumbs-up sign he possibly could. He was one excited man, full of vigor and childish quandary as to what lay in front of him. History my friend...History!

Over 660 feet long and 20 feet tall, it took 7 artists, 3 months to complete in 1998. Going from east to west along Metropolitan, each panel depicts events and eras in the neighborhood's history. Starting with the indigenous peoples, early settlers, the railroad, Hispanic peoples, 1951 flood... A vivid history told in bright colors over a block long. The only fault is that there are no sidewalks on the block, so access is a bit dicey trying to park and navigate the road or the grass for viewing. KCK - do better and get this neighborhood a sidewalk and then work on promoting this beautiful piece of art for more people to enjoy, at least a sign at I-635 and Metropolitan.

I have to be honest, it is not my favorite mural in the city, or the Market for the matter, but I do have to claim myself as a fan just because of it size. When I first moved back to the Kansas City area three years ago, I did not realize that there were such huge tributes to our city's history tucked away in our urban neighborhoods. The Town of Kansas is what eventually grew and merged with other little towns to create the grand city we all now call home. As the mural depicts, only 150 short years ago (in relativity to our nations history or more importantly America's history as whole) our fair town was mostly grazing space. Riverboats roamed our snagged filled Muddy Mo, and we served as a trading outlet and as an exploration jumping off point. This mural serves as great testament to our areas rich history and should not be missed on any walking tour of my favorite, and very walkable neighborhood!
