   My wife and my mom and I toured Thomas Hart Benton's house this past Sunday
   afternoon. I've been on this tour at least a couple of times in the past,
   when I used to live in KC, but this guided tour blew me away. Our tour guide
   (Liz, I think was her name?) was FANTASTIC. Such incredible knowledge about
   THB, his life, and his art. I had no idea what a renaissance man he was, or
   his influence in music (especially the harmonica). Our guide was
   enthusiastic, funny, engaging, and knowledgeable. If I still lived here, I
   would totes wanna befriend her. (And if you're reading this, hiiiiii please
   message me, because we should totally be Facebook friends. We were the
   queerdos wearing trans+queer pride masks.) THB is one of my favorite artists,
   and it was fun to talk about him with someone who understood the complexities
   of him. He wasn't a perfect person (namely: hella homophobic and a bit of a
   gatekeeper about the American Regionalism art classification), but who
   clearly appreciated his art and nuance.
   
   One of my favorite tours to take when I visit KC!

   Take this with a grain of salt, as I've never actually been inside this
   beautiful home, and have yet to take a tour. Whenever this Covid-19 phase
   wants to leave us, this is on my list.
   
   What I can speak to is the absolute architectural beauty of this house. We
   literally will drive into this neighborhood as part of a scenic route home
   because it's pretty amazing. This one fits the neighborhood all decked out
   with stone. Other houses around also showcase big stone front porches, and
   towering 100-year-old homes enshrouded in trees. The Thomas Hart Benton Home
   might just be my favorite of all of them in the neighborhood, which is high
   praise.
   
   I love when cities/towns preserve history, and this is a spot that has been
   featured and well-maintained over the years. THB's painting and murals are
   something to be celebrated, and you can find many of them at the nearby
   Nelson-Atkins Art Museum as well. Pretty cool to have a legacy connection to
   an iconic painter in Kansas City.

   I was on my way to the Nelson-Atkins for a T.H. Benton exhibit when I
   realized I still had never visited his home and studio which is a state park.
   The 2 guides I encountered are rich in the knowledge of THB, Missouri, art,
   architecture and everything related. An absolute treasure and so glad I went
   here before going to see the exhibit to get a better understanding of the man
   and his legacy. Next time I have a guest from out of town that appreciates
   art or history, I will take them here before getting BBQ.

   I was given a tour by the on site curator.He is a wealth of knowledge. Benton
   was quite prolific and an interesting character. I particularly liked seeing
   their old color TV, which was similar to the one I watched as a kid.

   Thomas Hart Benton was an American painter and muralist know for his fluid
   paintings of the Midwest.  His house is a hidden gem in the beautiful Roanoke
   neighborhood now ran by the Missouri State Park as a state historic site.
    His house and studio are open to tour and it's a little step back in time.
   
   It's kind of a trip to show up and more than likely be the only person there
   AND then out of no where, a park ranger shows up and gives you a tour.  It
   seems all fancy and formal to have a man in uniform (ok, a park ranger
   uniform) give you a personal tour, but that's how they do it!  It's not as
   awkward as it sounds and if you're lucky, another small group might be there
   for a tour too.  
   
   The house is simple but dotted throughout with some of his work.  Him and his
   wife lived in this house from 1939 thru 1975. It seems like most of those
   decades are represented throughout the decor of the house.  I love that you
   can grab a recipe or two of his wife's when you pass the kitchen.....a free
   souvenir!  The studio is out back in what was built as the carriage house.  
   He died in this studio back in 1975 and they say it has pretty much been
   untouched since then.
   
   It's a pretty cool way to spend an hour or so of your life in a great
   neighborhood of KC.  If his work motivates you enough, maybe you'll find
   yourself visiting the Nelson-Atkins to see some of his best work displayed in
   person.

   If you've read anything about or have any curiosity concerning Thomas Hart
   Benton this is a place you must go. The MO Dept of Natural Resources has done
   an excellent job of preserving this place, so much so that when you take a
   tour you kinda wonder if Mr. Benton is just going to appear, grab his brushes
   and paints and start painting. The Rangers do a great job of telling the
   story of the place, and in short if you love the painter, or have an interest
   in Kansas City history for that matter, this is well worth 1 hour of your
   time to visit.
   
   This is one of Kansas City's hidden in plain sight treasures. I can't give
   everything 5 stars, but it's a very strong 4.
