The Highland History Club hit the road and made the most of every minute on our KC trip!
We started off diving into history at the National WWI Museum and Memorial, where students got to experience exhibits and even see the Freedom Plane: Founding Documents on Tour—which was a pretty incredible moment bringing our nation’s story to life right in front of them. Standing inches from documents like the Treaty of Paris, a draft print of our nation's constitution, and an original engraving of our Declaration of Independence was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime moment!
From there, we headed to Union Station, Kansas City (which is history all by itself!), and explored the Immersive Titanic Exhibit—definitely a favorite stop for a lot of our group.
Day two took us to the National Frontier Trails Museum, where students connected what they had learned in the classroom to the real stories of westward expansion. We wrapped things up at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum, digging into presidential history and walking away with a deeper appreciation for Truman’s impact and the legacy he left behind.
In between all the learning, there was plenty of great food, lots of laughs, and some serious competition… including laser tag, where the students proudly claim victory over Mr. Arnsman!
We’re so proud of this group—not just for how much they learned, but for how well they represented Highland. Trips like this are what make history come alive! Thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable trip possible!
