Publicly accessible resources about the history of 18th & Vine are surprisingly limited. We’re building this virtual experience to change that. We want to create a living, interactive repository that honors the district’s legacy and makes it accessible to anyone, anywhere.
As Kansas City continues to evolve, whether it be economically, socially, and culturally, it’s vital that we don’t lose sight of where it all started. 18th & Vine isn’t just a historic district; it’s the birthplace of movements, music, and culture that shaped the soul of the city and inspired generations beyond its borders.
In a world constantly focused on what’s next, it’s easy to overlook what came before. That’s exactly why we’re pressing pause, looking back, and building something that ensures the stories, voices, and vibrancy of 18th & Vine aren’t just remembered… they’re experienced.
The progress thus far has not been done alone, we have an incredible community of supporters & partners who have allowed us to get this far. Thank you to each and every one of them!
The history of 18th & Vine deserves to be preserved, shared, and celebrated — but resources for this project are limited. That’s why we’re reaching out to the community for help.
If you or your family have anything that could help tell the story of 18th & Vine, no matter how small it may seem, we’d love to hear from you. Every detail helps bring this virtual district to life.
