New Museum May Close

Back in February the Shawnee Dispatch ran an article about the new Medicine’s Hall of Fame & Museum located in western Shawnee in the former Harley Davidson dealership.

The article is quite interesting and can be read here http://www.shawneedispatch.com/news/2013/feb/26/new-medical-museum-opens/

It has now come to my attention that the museum may close because of its inability to obtain a tax exemption.  I'm not familiar with this subject, but I thought that museums did get special consideration with regards to taxes.

Anybody want to jump on this and check it out?  You could check with Dr. Bruce Hodges and/or his wife Cathy at the museum, 6801 Hedge Lane Terrace, telephone 913-888-0777.  BTW, that's  near the southwest corner of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Kansas Highway 7.
