This is definitely a must see in KC. I am going to admit that I didn't know a lot about the Negro Baseball League, so I sure learned a lot from this museum. I didn't realize that the NBL went as long as it did. This museum is also connected to the Jazz Museum. We didn't have time to do that side, but would have loved to have experienced that as well. A very well-done museum.

This little gem of a museum was very impressive with meticulously displayed historical information, photographs, relics, antiques, and familial prized possessions of those who played in the Negro Leagues. Great for families, school groups, and baseball fans of every age. There's a gift shop attached which you can access without going into the museum if desired.

The Negro League Museum is some where I have been twice (once was closed) The experience, the exhibits, and just the sheer experience of going to a venue such as this was mind blowing. Not only that, the city pays homage in numerous places to the former sluggers. If you ever had an appreciation for baseball, African American sports history, or just a good museum, this is the place to go. There were years and years pored into the foundation of this place, and I hope it stays for many generations to come.

A couple friends visited from MN and one really wanted to tour this museum and the adjoining Jazz museum. The Baseball Museum was quite enlightening. During the little video, when someone sang the National Anthem, we all stood up at attention and sang along - even got some in the audience to join us.

If interested in this subject matter, you will not be unhappy. Be sure to see the video in the welcome area for free and the Jazz museum if time. Also there is great jazz in the blue room nightclub attached to the jazz museum.

Anyone that likes baseball history and facts will like to see this museum. Kids might get a little bored, but will like their time on the field of dreams.

I don't have a bucket list, but if I did, the NLBM would be near the top. Business brought me to KC and when I realized I would have a chance to visit this place I didn't hesitate. I am an amateur historian on the Negro Leagues and didn't expect much in terms of the size of the museum nor the contents. Boy was I wrong. There is an exceptional amount of memorabilia and information. I was searching for information on Satchel Paige's whereabouts during the 1935 season when he left the Crawfords for Bismark, N.D. I still don't have all the pieces to the puzzle, but the assistant curator went out of her way to telephone the curator and another unnamed source for info. Both added their assistance, but the mystery still remains. $10 admission. Allow 1-4 hours for a thorough and comprehensive tour. Do not miss.
