The John Wornall House Museum, built in the Greek Revival architectural style, was originally constructed by John B. Wornall in 1858 for a total cost of $4,505.69. John Wornall, a successful farmer, served as the president of The Jackson County Agricultural and Mechanical Association and the chairman of William Jewell College’s Board of Trustees. In 1879, Wornall co-founded the Kansas City National Bank and was also elected to the state senate, representing Cass, Jackson, and Bates counties. The John Wornall House Museum is currently functioning as a historic house museum, representing the life of pre-Civil War era.
