Posted on by crawfordt

A little bit on the history of the house itself…  It was originally the home of Dr. Herbert Tureman and his wife, Marie.  It was bequeathed to UMKC in 1964 and was originally used as office space for alumni programs, community relations, fund-raising, and conference and meeting rooms for alumni and constituent groups before becoming the Toy and Miniature Museum…
