Strawberry Hill Museum was once the private Victorian home, built in 1887, of the Scroggs family; at the time, it was considered to be one of the most outstanding examples of the Queen Anne Style architecture in Kansas City, Kansas. In 1919, it was purchased for use as an orphanage, and served in that capacity until 1988, when it was acquired by the Strawberry Hill Ethnic Cultural Society for conversion into a museum dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Slavic heritage prevalent in the Kansas City, Kansas area. 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.
