This is easily the best house museum I've ever visited. Katie, our tour guide, was expert-level knowledgeable about Benton, his family, and the home and was wonderfully engaging by asking us questions and starting conversations. I had no idea that this place is the smallest national park in the US at a 1/3 of an acre! Very intimate experience and I felt like I came away with so much knowledge and insight. I hope to visit again soon and go on the Roanoke Walking Tour Katie put together.

The tour guide had so much information about Thomas Hart Benton. The tour group was small, and this allowed me time to look at all the rooms and pictures. It was an informative and easy-going tour. Great experience in KC.

Wonderful, personal tour of his studio and home. A very interesting look into the later half of his career and the final home he lives in.

Thomas Hart Benton (April 15, 1889 – January 19, 1975) was an American painter. The fluid, sculpted figures in his paintings showed everyday people in scenes of life in the United States.

We didn’t get to tour the home because it was closed on the day we stopped by but the park attendant let us peek into the studio and told us a little about Thomas Hart Benton.

I knew little about Thomas Hart Benton before coming to the museum, (Didn't even know his biggest works) and I feel like I left an expert. The tour is great. Informative, funny and just the right amount of time (45ish minutes). The Benton's house and the studio are filled with their possessions, so it really looks like they stepped out for the afternoon. Definitely a special place for Kansas City and Missouri history.

Our tour with Katie was spectacular! She really knows her history, and knows how to fit the material to her tour group seamlessly. She was thorough and personable, and was able to answer every question we had. I love the quirky bits of information she shared, like pointing out how Benton kept multiple copies of some books in particular and how you could tell he was going through a really confident stage in his career when he painted himself shirtless in the dining room. We brought the entire family for a visit: grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, you name it, and there was something for everyone. It was particularly nice that the Benton Home was accommodating to wheelchairs so that my 94 year old grandma was able to go into Benton's studio. The only portion she couldn't access was the upstairs, but Katie had a photo album with all the information ready for Grandma to read while we went upstairs. Highly recommend a visit!

With the guided tour you understand his life And his wife. If you are interested in his work then this is a must see.

Great history and amazing locale. Well worth the $5 admission. Knowledgeable guides made the tour even more fascinating!

Had a wonderful experience touring the home of Thomas Hart Benton. Very informative and interesting experience in Kansas City. It is a delight for any one interested in art history. A window back in time boasting the hard work, creativity and family teamwork of a career in art that ended with opulence and fame.

Great tour of an extremely well preserved house. You really get a sense of how Benton worked and lived.

It is fun to step back into history. The guides did a great job of providing plenty of details to keep you engaged.

Great tour by Steven. Clearly well educated in art and the artist. Excellent tour. Highly recommend.

Great tour! Very accommodating and well-informed staff.

Very informative and reasonably priced tour of one of Missouri’s artists home.

My husband and I had a great time with Joe the tour guide. He was very informative and enthusiastic.

Well worth your time. The tour guide is knowledgeable and friendly, and our group was very happy we went.

Enjoyed the tour. The house itself is amazing outside of the story of the Benton family.

Fantastically preserved and such a fun tour. Wonderful to see how the Benton's lived and Thomas' work.

Nice place and the staff were very helpful Loved the film interview with Mr Benton

This is a very important part of Kansas City History. This is a city that had top blues singers, artists such as Walt Disney and Thomas Benton. This city has one of the top Art Institutes in the World, Kansas City Art Institute. This is a place on the move and it's time to represent.
