“NSDGKC is among the oldest, most enduring historical societies in Kansas City and they have unquestionably been a major force in preserving and promoting the region’s history. Without their good work to preserve sites and encourage recognition of local people and events their efforts to secure documents and records of our community’s past, much of Kansas City’s rich heritage would be unknown and unknowable.“
