www.trumanlibrary.org A very interesting presidential library. If you have any interest in US history particiulary the westward expension, I would highly recommend Matt's suggestion of the Arabia museum. You will not be disappointed.

I read very little, I'm usually too busy typing stuff in WIX!!

Actually, just North of the WWI Memorial is the old Train Station. It's a 3 minute walk and you can see it from the top of the hill the memorial sits on. Very nice old station and they have a great old diner style restaurant inside. Very short side trip, but if you like the old railroad thing, worth having lunch there!
