Believe it or not, it was Hannibal Bridge that forged Kansas City’s future in 1869. Without that pivotal moment, local history would have chugged along quite a different set of rails. Some say it MADE Kansas City.
All aboard for a fast-track history on the people who built this historical monument as local author, archivist, and historic preservationist David W. Jackson shares the timetable that took him 10-plus years to stoke.
A book signing to follow. Wisteria and Elixir will also be open!
