Penn Valley Park
Located in the heart of Kansas City, Penn Valley Park was built in an historic area once called Penn Street Ravine. The ravine was originally a heavily-forested route for pioneers heading west on the Santa Fe Trail. By the 1890s, many of the trees had been cut down to construct houses and buildings.
Kansas City has landmarks we love, but what is recognizable to those who don’t live here? In more recent years, while presidents and politicians display the American flag on their lapel, Kansas City’s mayor has opted for the Charlie Hustle “heart KC” pin- a personal favorite logo of mine that has morphed into a full public arts campaign with 100 unique KC hearts on display throughout our city.
“The Scout,” standing atop a bluff at Penn Valley Park, his hand shading his eyes as he gazes to the north toward a modern city, is a symbol of our city’s love of art and our acknowledgement of history.
The story of “The Scout” started with the raw talent of its artist, a man born on the edge of civilization in the shadows of Native American tribes.
