Plan My Trip: Kansas City

The latest in the ongoing series in which the editors of Traveler Magazine take travel suggestions from readers… Read more reader suggested itineraries here.

This week, I’m taking my history-teacher boyfriend on a road trip around Kansas City, from Abilene, Kansas, to Independence, Missouri, and everything in between (for all you history buffs out there, the libraries and grave sites of Eisenhower and Truman are already on our list). But there’s only so much presidential history I can take, so I want to know what else there is to see and do while we’re there, from the best restaurant in Abilene, to hip museums in Kansas City, to festivals, to (of course) where to get the best barbecue. Let me know in the comments below!
