About Americana Corner

Missouri Town Living History Museum

Missouri Town Living History Museum is a proud recipient of the 2025 Americana Corner Preserving America Grant.  The grant allows Missouri Town to expand its living history programs in Jackson County to enhance the visitor experience, boost volunteer participation, and to create vital educational programming.  The Webb House improvements included period furnishings and interpretive clothing, signage, programming, marketing, and stipends for craftspeople. 

The Webb House has been a staple at Missouri Town Living History Museum for decades. It is one of our most iconic colonial buildings and it is the first building that visitors see upon arrival.  The grant allows us to purchase period furniture to replicate how the home would have looked in the 1950s and provide space for programming and workshops.  Our plan is to make this space more visible and interactive for our guests, while maintaining historical accuracy.

Missouri Town Living History Museum Updates

On October 4-5, 2025, Missouri Town Living History Museum unveiled the refreshed Webb House Dining Room, offering guests a brand-new way to step into the 19th-century life. The space now serves as a dynamic setting for workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and exhibits - including tape loom weaving presented by our living history interpreters.

Thanks to the generous partnership grant from Americana Corner, the museum has added new marketing materials, reproduction items, interpretive clothing, and expanded educational programs - resources used daily and designed to enhance the visitor experience for years to come.
