About the Presentation:

JANSSEN PLACE: A UNIQUE KANSAS CITY NEIGHBORHOOD: STILL ON PARADE AFTER 125 YEARS

Authors – Bruce Mathews and Stephen Mitchell

Janssen Place is a unique, one-street neighborhood within the mid-town Hyde Park area. Its exciting story, beginning with its visionary developer, Arthur Stilwell is just waiting to reach a wider audience. 100% of the proceeds from the new book will benefit two, worthy 501(c)3 entities… The Mount Washington Cemetery Historical Society for the preservation of the William Rockhill Nelson Memorial Chapel, and the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association to further their neighborhood-improvement programs.
