Hallmark Visitors Center - Kansas City, Missouri
Located in Kansas City’s Crown Center complex, the Hallmark Visitors Center celebrates the Hallmark story in a display of 14 remarkable exhibits.

"When you care enough to send the very best." This slogan is probably known by every adult in the USA. The Hallmark company is known for quality cards to fit all occassions.

This visitor center shows the story from the founder’s humble beginning in 1910, to the creation of the world’s largest greeting card company.

Step inside the Timeline exhibit where you’ll view historical artifacts that reflect various eras and trends throughout 20th century America into the new millennium.

Marvel at the J.C. Hall Christmas Trees, a collection of 17 unique and imaginative trees. Visit with some of our Hallmark craftspeople—a graphic arts technician or press operator—as they demonstrate hot foil stamping and die cutting, processes used in the manufacture of greeting cards.
