ZIP by ZIP. Explore Kansas City from the air, one ZIP code at a time. Discover 64127

The Kansas City Star has launched a new drone video series called ‘ZIP by ZIP’. This weekly series will show you one interesting place from an aerial perspective. Our goal is to show you a landmark, attraction or historical site from a new perspective. With almost 8,500 square miles in the Kansas City metro that spans a state line and two major rivers, we have a lot of ground to cover with our drones.

64127 Elmwood Cemetery

Elmwood Cemetery, located at 4900 E. Truman Road, celebrates 150 years this month. The 43-acre site contains over 30,000 graves. There are 800 veterans from the Civil War buried in Elmwood, along with 12 Kansas City Mayors, and four U.s Congressmen.

Elmwood also is the final resting place for the first permanent resident of Kansas City, and the first KC Major League Baseball team owner.

For more information about the cemetery, and a self-guided walking tour, visit their website.
