A truly excellent real life artistic museum . House is fantastic by itself but then add in all of Benton's personal items and you have a better appreciation of his vision.
One of the best historical museum sites anywhere. Virtually unchanged since Mrs. Benton died, the studio is how he left it when he died. Try to get Peter as a tour guide.
The home is filled with Tom and Rita Benton's actual personal possessions -- even the recipes on the kitchen counters.

Terrific place to take a quick revitalizing break. Lunch (Cafe Sebastienne) and stunning art. Not so big, so not something that will swallow your day. Just right. - Halls KansasCity
Look for the cave entrance that was sealed in the late 50's. Close to the walking trail by the old baseball field in the rockwalls concave. - Chris Otter
