Wornall/Majors House Museums is a nonprofit that operates two of Kansas City’s most historic structures: the John Wornall House and the Alexander Majors House. These historic homes serve as the dynamic backdrop for events and community gatherings.
Wornall/Majors House Museums strive to tell an inclusive and accessible story about American mid-19th century history.

The Alexander Majors House is the frontier home of a pioneer, innovator, freighter, and co-founder of the Pony Express.
