Ventana Gourmet Grill

A casual upscale dining experience in the heart of Downtown Excelsior Springs

18 years ago, sisters Wendy Baldwin and Jill Rickart decided to

take a chance on a new business venture in downtown Excelsior

Springs. At the time, the downtown was a shell of what it is today,

but the sisters saw potential for growth that they could be a part

of and help spearhead.

Their restaurant, Ventana Gourmet Grill, came to life in February

2002, offering a casual yet upscale dining experience that was

previously lacking in this small town. Their corner building is a

site to behold, with historically ornate ceilings, original wood

floors and brick walls full of the antique charm that Excelsior

Springs has come to be known for.

The menu is eclectic, with choices for every preference, from

pasta to award-winning steaks, and everything in between. On

any one table you might find a caesar salad with a cup of lobster

bisque soup, a bowl of New Orleans cajun pasta with a side of

parmesan pita bread, a prime rib with zucchini and a baked

potato, and if it’s a Tuesday night, you might even find an order

of their all you can eat shrimp.

Along with their gourmet entree choices, Ventana boasts

an extensive wine list, beer and spirits, and is famous for their

homemade cheesecake.

While the taste and quality of the food is upper level, the sisters’

love of their business and their town is another driving force

behind their success. In the past almost two decades, they have

become pillars in the community. Always willing to pitch in, they

serve on the Downtown Excelsior Partnership Board, a group

dedicated to the advancement and continued improvements of

the downtown, often host fundraisers for local sports teams and

other organizations, and donate to many local causes. Ventana

also holds a partnership with the local community theatre,

Slightly Off Broadway Theatre, offering show and dinner combo

tickets for a fun night on the town.

Their forward thinking momentum has led to multiple

expansions over the years. With the growing need to

accommodate larger groups, such as wedding or retirement

parties, they expanded their business to include what they

affectionately call “The O.R.,” also just known as “the other room.”

In 2018, they expanded again, opening a bakery right next door

called “Ventana Sweet Kneads” to satisfy the needs of those with

a sweet tooth.

If you’re in the mood for high quality food brought to you

by friendly faces, please be sure to visit Ventana Gourmet Grill,

located at 117 W. Broadway. Their menu is available at www.

ventanagourmetgrill.com. If you would like more information

on hosting a party in their event space, please contact 816-630-

8600.

If you’d like to make a reservation, you can do so at ventanagourmetgrill.com

Willow Spring Mercantile

the wine is always pouring & the coffee’s always on

Guests will feel right at

home when they step inside

the quaint shop and bistro that

is Willow Spring Mercantile.

The Mercantile, owned by

Jim and Daphne Bowman,

has been a staple of the

downtown for over a

decade. Walking in the brick

storefront, you’re transported

into a world of wine and food,

smiles and great conversation.

On any given day you might

be treated to the ambient

sounds of Jim’s guitar playing while you sample

one of the over 300 Missouri wines available

in the shop. Besides wine, other items for sale

include beer, coffees, teas, food mixes, apparel

and other novelty items.

Through the shop and down the stairs is Willow

Spring’s Bistro, open daily for lunch and twice a

month for dinner. Dishes are made with real, fresh

and locally sourced ingredients, with substitutions

available for those with food sensitivites. Menu

items include appetizers such as the seasonal

fruit and cheese plate or red pepper hummus,

salads like the almond caesar,

flatbread pizzas, specialty

sandwiches and wraps, and

decadent homemade desserts.

On weekends, live music from

local musicians will fill the air.

Second Weekends in

downtown Excelsior Springs

brings extended hours to The

Mercantile and live music all

three days. Second Weekends

is a downtown event that takes

place the second weekend of

each month where businesses

stay open later and often include special guests

and promotions.

Another popular monthly WIllow Spring

occurrence is the coveted Four-Course Wine

Dinner. This ticketed event features a Missouri

Winery joining Jim, Daphne and other guests

for a gourmet four-course meal accompanied by

four select Missouri wines to compliment each

course. Dates, menus and tickets can be found at

ShopTheMercantile.com.

Willow Spring Mercantile can be found at 249 E.

Broadway in the historic Downtown district.

We were wonderfully

surprised with this

delightful place. On a

girls weekend, we had a

delightful lunch; enjoyed

2 flatbread pizzas &

the recommended wine

pairings were spot on (a

margherita with a vignole

& a pear gorgonzola

with a Chardonnay/

viognier blend) . The

bread pudding dessert

was topped with peaches

from the owner's trees!

And we went back

for brunch on the first

stop of the #estrolley

wine tour. The staff

are attentive, engaging

and knowledgeable.

HIGHLY recommend

a meal and wine tasting/

shopping here!!

OF THE EARTH

farm distillery

If you’re feeling up to a little road trip, you’ll find a hidden gem

a little past the outskirts of town.

Of The Earth Farm Distillery is located in the gently rolling hills

of Ray County, near a town called Richmond.

The Pierce Family has been at their farm since the early 90s,

building and adding on to their farm and business in the years

since then.

Of The Earth contains a seven-acre orchard that includes 26

varieties of apples, two varieties of Asian pears and two varieties

of peaches. These fruits are used to produce premium spirits,

such as Apple Brandy. Other spirits produced by Of The Earth

include Grappa created from Missouri Norton grapes, Blackberry

and Raspberry Liqueur from fresh, local berries, and more. (see

list, left)

In 2018, the farm expanded to include increased production

facilities and a Tasting Room. The Tasting Room offers cocktails,

beer, wine, soda, and Charcuterie & Cheese Boards available for

purchase each weekend.

In addition to locally sourced and produced spirits, Of The Earth

Farm raises and produces grass-fed meats from their Berkshire

hogs and Katahdin sheep. Heritage pork, as well as cuts of lamb,

are available to purchase. Meat is sold at the farm, located at

17190 Hwy 13 In Richmond, at the Kansas City Farmer’s Market,

and online at www.oftheearthfarm.com. Fruits are also available

seasonally on a u-pick basis by appointment only.

Of the Earth Farm is open January and February by appointment

only, and March-December they are open Friday-Sunday, 12 p.m.

- 6 p.m. If you are looking to try some of their distillery products

outside of their business hours, visit Willow Spring Mercantile in

Excelsior Springs. More information on the Farm, their products,

and where to get them can be found at www.oftheearthfarm.

com.

Gorgeous Farm, lots to try, some very eclectic

unique experimental flavor profiles, that would make

great gifts. A worthwhile road trip for fresh air a

drink and a charcuterie board.

FISHING RIVER MARKET

If you’re fishing for a rare find, moseying into Fishing River

Market is the right move for you. Located at 414 S. Thompson

Ave., the unique store opened in 2018 after completing a total

renovation of the historic space it occupies. With over 15,000

square feet of space, it is packed with unique treasures, ranging

from vintage to modern and everything in between.

The interesting part of Fishing River Market is that you really

never know what you might find. After walking through the airy

space, one might pick up an antique victrola, stroll by a case of

homemade soap, take home a vintage toy to show your kids,

and load up a Mid-Century hutch to put in your dining room. No

matter what your tastes are, this antique lover’s paradise is sure

to reel you in with their enormous variety of unique treasures.

The owners of Fishing River Market liquidate estates and rent

booths so the space is made up of multiple vendors, including

local craftsman and artists selling their handmade merchandise

and specialty items.

During Second Weekend events in Downtown Excelsior

Springs, the shop hosts a Swap Meet in the 18,000 foot basement

of their space with extended hours. New items are always coming

and going so frequent visits are a must. New in 2020, the Market

will even be adding an ice cream parlor to the mix.

Spending time at Fishing River Market is sure to leave a smile

on your face - you may even find something you didn’t even

know you needed!

Any visit to Excelsior Springs is not complete without visiting the

historic Hall of Waters. The beautiful art deco building currently

houses the Excelsior Springs Visitor Center and the City of Excelsior

Springs offices. Inside you’ll find beautiful architecture, dazzling

artwork and many relics of the health resort it once was. Although

the mineral waters are no longer served, the world’s longest water

bar is worth more than a quick look.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS IS BURSTING AT THE SEAMS WITH CREATIVITY

For a town so small, there is a large pool of talent living

in and constantly passing through. From the art scene (see

page 38) to the music scene (see page 40) and beyond,

there is always an abundance of creativity on display for

your enjoyment.

The Slightly Off Broadway Theatre is a community theatre

located right in the heart of the historic Downtown district.

In 2020, the theatre is slated for six performances (see

schedule below) in a variety of genres. To make a full night

of it, purchase a dining and theatre package to enjoy dinner

at Ventana Gourmet Grill paired with tickets to a show.

More detailed information on each show, as well as a way to

purchase tickets, can be found at www.sobtheatre.org.

Down the road on Spring Street, Paradise Playhouse

Banquet Hall is an event rental space that frequently hosts

their own events, including Elvis impersonators, special

dance performances, and karaoke. Tickets typically include

a multi-course meal and a show.

The Excelsior Springs Cultural Guild is a local nonprofit

organization whose mission is to “inspire the arts.” The Guild

raises money through various events throughout the year to

be used to provide scholarships to local students pursuing

the arts. The Cultural Guild puts on a Murder Mystery Event

in February with two dates available. Each May, they also

bring back the Roaring 20s with “Gatsby Days,” an event

spread amongst several dates and events. Gatsby Days fun

includes vintage movies, a 1920s Fashion Show, a Youth Art

Show and more. Information on the ES Cultural Guild and

their events and contributions to the local arts community

can be found in more detail at esculturalguild.com.

Art is all around us

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS IS HOME TO ARTISTS, CREATORS

Over the last handful of years, Excelsior Springs has

become a bit of a haven for artists. The unique architecture,

historical components and picturesque landscapes are an

inspiration to those with creative minds.

The Historic Downtown District is now home to several

art galleries, studios and shops. The downtown itself is

adorned with beautiful, handpainted murals covering

multiple building sides, making a walk down the street feel

like stepping into a vintage postcard.

Main Spring Arts is a concept that was started by the

Excelsior Springs Arts Association. Main Spring Arts is a

place for artists to socialize, create, teach and learn through

classes. The space is a collective effort used for a variety of

artistic representation.

The second weekend of every month, downtown stays

open late for Second Weekend Art Crawls, where shops and

studios bring in featured artists and musicians to entertain

guests for the evening. Often, artists are brought in to

the galleries and other shops to showcase their work and

sometimes even provide demonstrations.

Between the galleries, art class offerings and unique

Mayan-inspired architecture of buildings such as the Hall

of Waters, every little thing about Excelsior Springs has a

tinge of artistic touch to it.

For more information on arts in Excelsior Springs or

upcoming events, go to www.VisitExcelsior.com

WE’VE GOT THE

Rhythm

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC

Excelsior Springs is bursting at the seams with talent, including

on the local music scene.

One of the most well-known go to spots for summer music

is the Wabash Blues Garden. Beginning each May and

lasting through September, many Saturday nights down on

Kansas City Avenue are spent listening to local blues and

rock acts as they grace the outdoor stage. The Blues Garden

schedule can be found at www.WabashBBQ.com. Many

popular acts have performed during the Blues Garden, including

Noe Palma, Anthony Gomes, Amanda Fish Band

and Four Fried Chickens and a Coke.

Wabash isn’t the only local establishment to host live music.

Dubious Claims Brewing Company, Willow Spring Mercantile,

Four Horses and a Dog, The Eagles Club, and Van Till

Winery are a few of the others known to host local bands

and acoustic groups.

Every festival and large event in Excelsior Springs brings

in bands, DJs and solo singers for performances and entertainment.

Second Weekends in downtown Excelsior Springs are often

littered with street musicians and special acoustic performances

within downtown businesses.

If you’re looking to BE the music instead of listening to

the music, The Atlas Saloon hosts karaoke on Friday nights.

Haunted Excelsior

Excelsior Springs is rich with ghost

stories and haunting tales. One of the

most allegedly haunted locations is the

Hall of Waters. Some claim to have seen

a beautiful woman in a red dress. Others

claim to have heard children laughing,

while others heard piercing screams.

Some say they have smelled things that

aren’t possible, like chlorine in the pool

that has been unused and empty for decades.

Still more swear they have been

touched on the shoulder or back by

something while touring the Hall.

If paranormal investigations are your

thing, you’re in luck. There are now Paranormal

Investigations every third Saturday.

The investigations are limited to 10-

15 people and last between three and a

half to four hours. T.R. Kennedy, the Hall

of Waters maintenance supervisor who

organizes the tours, says that evidence

has been captured on video and other

special technology.

Guests will be given a tour with a history

of the Hall and surrounding area

and given special paranormal investigative

equipment to hopefully gather

more evidence. Money from ticket sales

goes back to the Hall of Waters to help

fund building upkeep and restoration.

If you think you’re brave enough, visit

www.VisitExcelsior.com to book your

tickets.

Another famous stomping ground for

otherwordly beings is The Elms Hotel

& Spa. For years, staff and guests have

told tales of strange occurrences. Overturned

furniture, strange sounds, a child

apparition grabbing ankles of swimmers

in the lap pool - these are just a small

taste of the rumors that have circulated

the halls of the hotel. While staying at

The Elms, be sure to ask about the ghost

tour.

The Excelsior Springs Trolley hosts a

Paranormal Tour in October, taking participants

to both The Elms and the Hall

of Waters for an evening full of exploration.

Find out more at www.ESTrolley.

com.

you will be by the time you leave.

“We recently had our wedding at The Montgomery and

couldn’t be happier with our experience. The venue is

beautiful, plenty of space for buffet line, dancing, and bar,

a great area for getting ready and doing hair and makeup,

and an awesome game room upstairs. Zedena was great

to work with, very friendly and professional and always

responsive to emails and messages. She had lots of great

ideas and suggestions and was very helpful in making our

vision for our wedding day come to life. Overall, we are

so glad we decided to go with The Montgomery for our

wedding venue and we would definitely recommend!”

FRIDAY-SATURDAY, JUNE 26-27, 2020 • DOWNTOWN

The Waterfest Celebration is an annual event that celebrates the city’s

mineral water heritage with a weekend full of music, activities, food and

fun!

Picture this: The historic downtown transforms into a festival grounds.

In the air are the sounds of kids laughing as they slide and bounce

around the inflatable playground. The smell of funnel cake and BBQ

waft through the air. Vendors line the streets offering art, crafts, apparel,

custom items and so much more. As the sun settles below the horizon,

live music kicks into gear, pausing for a spectacular fireworks show over

the Hall of Waters. This is just a small taste of what Waterfest is like -

you’ll have to attend to get the full effect!

Both weekend days are filled with activities and demonstrations,

contests and performances. On Saturday, the morning starts with

a pancake breakfast offered at Ventana Gourmet Grill followed by a

parade. A car show lines the side streets, with dozens of classic cars on

hand to admire. You will never run out of things to do or see, snacks to

munch on or people to have a great time with.

Smokers, tents and RVs line the downtown as competitors spend

the overnight hours perfecting their masterpieces. Evening festivities

grounds, entrants pay $5. Proceeds from the event are used toward

community needs and projects.

On Saturday morning, teams wake up bright and early (if they’ve

even slept!) to prepare their dishes for judging. Mid-afternoon, all teams

gather for the awards ceremony, where prizes are given in several meat

categories, as well as in pasta and dessert.

During the BBQ festival downtown, the Excelsior Springs Memorial

Airport also holds a Fly-In at the airport, giving demonstrations and

Mug Shots is a ticketed event where participants are invited to visit

multiple local shops and restaurants to sample local and Missouri craft

beers, shop and browse throughout the businesses.

Oktoberfest brings vendors, pumpkins and mums to the downtown

streets, along with several other bits of fun. The Annual Barrel Roll

Parade has the crowd begin at Dubious Claims Brewing Co., decked

out in German Oktoberfest attire, and roll beer barrels through the

downtown streets, stopping at The Atlas and ending at Broadway Bar &

Grill at the other end of Broadway.

A new event added in 2019 is bed racing, a hilarious race where

teams get together, deck themselves out in creative themed costumes

and race through the streets on customized bed racers. The inaugural

event crowned the Atlas Brewery team the ultimate winner, but in 2020

it could be you! Register your team at VisitExcelsior.com.

Christmas

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

The holidays are truly a special time in Excelsior Springs. The community starts early with a Christmas kick-off the

Saturday before Thanksgiving. Downtown Excelsior transforms into a scene like out of a Hallmark movie, with lights lining

the tops of the historic buildings and festive decorations adorning the light poles.

Saturday, November 21, will mark the beginning of Christmastime in Excelsior Springs. Join in the fun during these

spectacular events:

CHRISTMAS PARADE

The Annual Lighted Christmas Parade has grown over the

years to become one of the most highly-anticipated events

of the year. Cars, floats and even people and animals set the

downtown aglow with Christmas spirit as they deck themselves

out in dazzling, twinkling lights. Prior to the parade,

the local elementary students gather to sing Christmas

carols.

LIGHTING CEREMONY

Immediately following the parade, the countdown begins!

The crowd will join together to mark the lighting of the

Mayor’s Christmas tree and the tops of the downtown businesses.

After the lighting, guests are invited into the Hall of

Waters to feast on delicious homemade cookies made by the

culinary students of the Excelsior Springs Job Corps.

HALL OF TREES

During the holiday season, the world’s longest water bar becomes

home to a glorious display of Christmas trees. Local

businesses and organizations decorate trees that line the

outskirts of the water bar. It’s truly a stunning sight, especially

in the evening hours. Donations are accepted to vote

for your favorite tree.

LANE OF LIGHTS

The Lane of Lights is a drive-through light display running

through East Valley Park. Turn down your headlights, crank

up the Christmas tunes and drive slowly through Lovers

Lane, checking out the festive displays and driving through

the red and green light tunnel at the end. Local groups

volunteer to host the Lane each night. Driving through the

Lane is free, but free will donations are accepted and appreciated.

MISTLETOE MARKET

Once the local Christmas spirit has amped up, there’s no

reason to hold off on that holiday shopping list any longer!

The day of the Christmas Kick-off, a holiday vendor market

is held in conjunction with the day’s celebrations. Artists,

crafters and other vendors set up shop in a downtown business

to show off and sell their goods. For a full list of vendors

closer to the event date, check out VisitExcelsior.com

THE ELF FACTORY

Get ready to thrill your little ones! The Elf Factory is a fantastic,

fun-filled event for the younger kids in the group.

An entire gymnasium transforms into a craft center where

volunteers assist the littles in creating holiday crafts and

gifts. Projects start at 50 cents and typically go up to $7. You

will leave with a bag full of creative treasures and best of

all - memories.

Christmas isn’t a season, it’s a feeling

THE HOLIDAY HOMES TOUR

December brings more holiday fun with the Holiday Homes

Tour. During the homes tour, five area families open their

homes they’ve decked out in full holiday decor for participants

to tour.

TASTE OF CHRISTMAS

The Taste of Christmas is a tour of several local area businesses

where tasty holiday themed treats are given out for a

day of snacking and shopping.

HOLLY, JOLLY, TROLLEY!

The Excelsior Springs Chamber also hosts holiday themed

Trolley events like the Christmas Wine Tour and the Family

Holiday Lights Tour, in addition to offering transportation to

other holiday events. Find out details at estrolley.com.

But wait, there’s more...

In addition to the already mentioned events, there are many other oppotunities throughout the season to see Santa and partake

in Christmas fun, including the Candy Cane Hunt offered by the Parks & Rec Department. Be sure to check out the community

calendar link at VisitExcelsior.com to find out what else is going on!

YA’LL

HEARD

ABOUT

the water

Excelsior Springs, the city with the

magic waters, came to be as a modern

dwelling in the year 1880. At the time,

it was basically a wheat field. From the

Fishing River, a spring water with a

red coloring flowed, becoming Siloam

Spring and the first of the mineral waters

found in Excelsior Springs. It is the

only natural supply of ferro-manganese

mineral water in the United States

and one of only five known worldwide.

It’s also the spring that paved the way

for Excelsior Springs to become what

it is today.

The story goes like this: A local farmer,

Travis Mellion, was searching for

help for his daughter who was suffering

from tuberculosis. Mellion gave

his daughter water from the spring to

drink and bathe in. Within days, a drastic

improvement in her condition was

observed; in just weeks, she was cured.

People took notice. Another story of

the healing properties of the water

comes from Civil War Veteran Frederick

Kuglar, who decided to test the water

on an unhealed gunshot wound.

He, too, found relief and a full recovery

from the waters.

From there, the owners of the property

platted the valley and formed a

town. Within a year’s time, 200 houses

had settled into the hilly terrace for

newcomers to call home. Visitors who

had heard of the magic waters came in

droves, camping in tents and covered

wagons, to get their hands on the waters.

After the discovery of the first water,

more than 40 more mineral water

wells and springs were identified, including

sodium bicarbonate, calcium

bicarbonate and saline sulphur. One

of Excelsior’s claims to fame is that we

have more groupings of mineral water

than anywhere else in the world. IN

THE ENTIRE WORLD!

Before long, visitors from larger

metropolitan areas caught interest

in the springs. Suddenly, due to high

demand, boarding houses and hotels

were erected and stage lines were

put into place. Excelsior continued to

thrive with further construction and

expansion, even avoiding the worst

of the Great Depression thanks to our

status as a health resort oasis.

In the late 1950s, the good times

took a hit as some of the health benefits

were questioned and popularity of

resort spa towns declined.

Today, the springs still flow, although

access to them has diminished. City

and community civic groups are currently

working to restore mineral water

pavilions at as many sites as possible.

Our rich history helped make us what

we are, but we are even more than our

water. We have created a community

with deep roots in history and a huge

passion toward the future. We have

two feet moving forward while keeping

an eye on our past.

Our tourism industry is booming and

new businesses are opening up every

year, including a brand new brewery,

restaurants and retail space with more

to come in the future.

We pride ourselves on being a

unique, charming town rich in history,

culture and forward momentum. We

welcome you to our town and hope

you enjoy your time here!

If you’d like to learn more about our

history, you can read about it at www.

VisitExcelsior.com or even better, learn

about it in person at the Excelsior

Springs Museum and the Hall of Waters.

Where the past is present

While visiting downtown Excelsior Springs, be sure

to stop into the Excelsior Springs Museum & Archives .

Housed inside buildings that were once a bank and a hotel,

the Museum is structurally gorgeous, with high arched

decorative ceilings and the original bank vault still inside.

HIstory buffs and lovers of vintage architecture do not

want to miss seeing this gem of a building.

The historic building, with many intact bank fixtures, is

over 100 years old. A fun fact about the vault is that the

door weighs 20,000 pounds but is so delicately balanced

that it can be moved with just one finger. Other permanent

displays include murals painted on the walls, an old

loom still used by volunteers to weave rugs, and a military

room.

In addition to the everyday historical items for viewing,

exhibits and displays rotate regularly. Future displays include

tributes to the anniversaries of local events like the

Annual BBQ on the River and in 2021, the 200th Anniversary

of Missouri’s statehood.

At the museum, there are also several opportunities to

extend your research of the local area with census information,

yearbooks, newspapers and more. There is even a

Genealogy Room to help individuals trace their roots.

The concept of a museum is a simple one, but is not

enough to describe what the Excelsior Springs Museum

is. At its core, it’s a love story to the town it showcases, a

tribute to a town rich in a history no one wants to forget.

As it is not a tax based business, the museum is run solely

by volunteer efforts, so you’ll always find a friendly face

willing and excited to talk to you about all things Excelsior

Springs. Stop in on your way through town and learn how

the days of past have helped build the Excelsior Springs

we are today.
