About the Museum
The Strawberry Hill Ethnic Cultural Society was formed in 1988 to promote, sponsor and preserve the ethnic heritage prevalent in Kansas City, Kansas. The Cultural Center is housed in the Strawberry Hill Museum.
At present, the museum has permanent exhibits for the countries of Croatia, the Ukraine, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Polish, Slovakia, Slovenia and Russia. The museum also displays Pope John Paul II articles used on the TWA plane when he traveled on his last three trips to the Unites States. Groups also participating are Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, and Serbia. All the exhibits display artifacts consisting of costumes, books, pictures, toys, jewelry, linens, crystal, hand-carved wooden items, dolls and much more. The exhibits are housed in the Sisters quarters (an addition build on to the Scroggs home in 1925). Original furnishings obtained from the descendants of Margaret Cruise are displayed throughout the 1887 Scroggs Victorian home.
