THE HORSE grand opening in KC on October 10th

THE HORSE exhibit is coming to Museum at Prairiefire in Overland Park.
The Museum at Prairiefire (Overland Park, KS) will be presenting a signature exhibition organized by the American Museum of Natural History entitled The Horse, starting October 10th, 2015.
The Horse explores the powerful link between horses and humans. Humans domesticated horses some 6,000 years ago, and over time, we have created more than 200 breeds, from the powerful Clydesdale to the graceful Arabian. As we have shaped horses to suit our needs on battlefields, farms, and elsewhere, these animals have shaped human history. They have also captured our imagination and hearts. Millions of people rely on horses as their spirited, dedicated, much adored companions.
Exhibition highlights will include a hand-painted diorama depicting the evolution of the horse (it was once no bigger than a dog); spectacular fossils; a samurai saddle; a horse-drawn early 20th century fire engine; and other cultural objects from around the world. Interactive stations throughout invite visitors of all ages to touch ancient horse teeth, identify different breeds, and learn how horses hear, digest food, and express their moods.
The exhibition will open October 10th, 2015, and be on display until January 24th, 2016.
Through a unique collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, as well as with other cultural and educational institutions in the Kansas City area, the
Museum at Prairiefire
(MAP) is a place to understand and celebrate natural history and culture in our region and around the world. The Museum engages visitors and area students with world-class exhibitions, important programming, and significant educational opportunities.

Recreational land use statute
|
|
Landowner Liability Protection Under the Kansas Recreational Use Act
We live today in an ever expanding population. As cities creep outward, the need for public access to undeveloped land increases. In order to encourage private landowners to permit public access to their property, many states, including Kansas, have enacted some form of a Recreational Land Use Act which provides liability protection to property owners opening their land to the public.
The Kansas statute is found at Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-3204. In summary, it states that a landowner in Kansas, who makes any part of their land open to the public for recreational purposes, does not have a duty to keep their land safe for others, or to give any warning to such visitors of dangerous conditions UNLESS the landowner i) willfully or maliciously failed to guard or warn visitors against dangerous conditions, or ii) charged the visitors who go onto the land for recreational purposes unless the land is leased to the state or a subdivision thereof. Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-3203; Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-3206. Additionally, a landowner who invites or allows a person to come onto their property for recreational purposes does not i) extend any assurance that the premises are safe, ii) confer status upon the visitor under which the landowner would owe the visitor a duty of care, or iii) assume responsibility or liability for any injury to any person caused by the visitor. Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-3204.
