Victorian Customs

We are a non-profit 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. We strive to tell an inclusive and accessible story about American mid-nineteenth-century history.

Wornall/Majors loves students! We offer a variety of field trip packages for multiple age ranges, group sizes, and curricula needs. Staff is happy to work with teachers, administrators, or youth leaders to shape a field trip to meet the organization’s needs. Whether you want to include primary sources, comparison, and contrast, or other curriculum standards, we can make it happen.

Cost options
House tour only ($5 per person)

Enjoy a one-hour tour of either the John Wornall or Alexander Majors House. This option is ideal for groups with limited time as well as college or high school groups.

Themed field trip ($8 per student, chaperones free)

Choose a thematic field trip package! All packages include a house tour and specially crafted activities meant to enhance the curriculum and immerse students in a particular topic.

Logistics
Wornall/Majors typically accommodate groups of 10 to 60 students. Larger groups are welcomed with plenty of advanced notice.
