KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Before the Civil War, John Wornall was a jack of all trades.
He was a successful farmer. He helped establish the Bank of Kansas City, worked in real estate and insurance and was a one-time Missouri State Senator.
His accolades also include donating to Baptist Churches and being one of the original trustees of William Jewel College, donating thousands of dollars to the school.
Centuries later, the Wornall House, located at 6115 Wornall Road, is a museum.
Much of it mirrors what it looked like just before the war â and the chaos that turned a nice family home into a field hospital during the Civil War.
