The Bingham-Waggoner Mansion & Estate is a 26-room Victorian mansion set on 19.5 acres in Independence, Missouri — recognized as one of the more significant historical sites in Western Missouri. The property is defined by two chapters of American history: George Caleb Bingham, the renowned 19th-century artist and Missouri politician, lived and maintained a studio here where he painted "Order Number 11," his celebrated Civil War-era protest work. The Waggoner family, Pennsylvania millers known regionally for their "Queen of the Pantry" flour, owned the estate for 97 years and oversaw the elegant Victorian renovations still evident today. The grounds sit at the origin of the Santa Fe, Oregon, and California Trails, with wagon ruts visible across an adjacent field. Now a public museum and park since 1979, the estate is available for private events including catered luncheons and dinners, anniversary gatherings, showers, and outdoor celebrations. The mansion itself can be reserved for seated dining for groups of 10 to 50, served with china, silver, and stemware. The Carriage House Meeting Room, on the north side of the property, accommodates daytime gatherings of similar size. The canopy of trees, historic buildings, and park-like grounds — across nearly 20 acres — provide a setting suited to weddings, family reunions, and special occasions.

Richard & Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors' Park sits on a 2-acre site at the edge of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, in the space formerly known as Roanoke Plaza. Opened in 1990 as the original location among 24 Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors' Parks across the United States and Canada, the park underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2008 that introduced new sculptural and landscape elements designed to create a contemplative, inspiring environment. The park is anchored by the Transformed Flower sculpture at its northern entrance and the Arch of Triumph, with a Positive Mental Attitude Walk featuring 14 bronze plaques — four inspirational and ten instructional — and a central sculpture by Victor Salmones depicting eight life-size bronze figures passing through a maze representing the cancer treatment journey. A Road to Recovery installation adds seven bronze plaques with educational content about cancer survivorship. In 2009, the park earned a Merit Award for Design from the Central States Region of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Available for outdoor ceremonies and receptions accommodating up to 250 guests, the park offers an uncommon setting that combines nationally recognized public art, contemplative landscaping, and a layered narrative of hope and resilience, all just west of the Country Club Plaza.
