1907 Scarritt Point Terrace Park Kansas City Missouri

1907 vintage lithograph postcard of Scarritt Point, North Terrace Park in Kansas City, Missouri.

North Terrace Park (renamed George E. Kessler Park in the 1970s) is generally considered the first completed park in Kansas City. Scarritt Point was named for the Rev. Nathan Scarritt, whose farm covered most of the area between St. John and the bluff and Scarritt Point and Van Brunt.

The park sits in Kansas City’s historic Northeast neighborhood. At the time of its construction, the neighborhood was home to some of Kansas City’s most elite businessmen and their families. Many of the castle-like mansions endure around Kessler Park today.
