After a year closed to the public, the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas, has reopened with a new exhibit. The first major exhibit redesign since the 1970s offers what museum officials describe as a “new lens” through which to meet Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, appropriately titled: “Ike and Mamie tell their story.”

In 2020, the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum will celebrate the 75th anniversary of Truman’s ascent to the presidency of the United States with the completion of the institution’s largest renovation and expansion since it opened more than 60 years ago. Having closed this past July, the museum is expected to reopen in a year.

Congregation Beth Shalom traces its roots to 1915, when a group of congregants separated from Congregation Keneseth and took up temporary lodging at 31st and Charlotte streets in Kansas City. Over the next century, Beth Shalom occupied a series of properties on the Missouri, and then the Kansas, side of the state line, reflecting the growth and migration of the Jewish community in the Kansas City area.
