    Westport


    Once the last stop for brave pioneers before heading out West, the town was also the site of the bloodiest Civil War battle west of the Mississippi in 1864. You can find the oldest building in Kansas City, Kelly’s Westport Inn – a pre-Civil War era grocery-store-turned bar dating back to 1850. Nowadays, the neighborhood is Kansas City’s best stop for debauchery.
