to refresh your memory, kansas city is the home to the hallmark headquarters. there's a lot of exhibits at the hallmark visitors center. actually we have no idea if it's okay to take picture inside the building, so we take one first and see if anyone stops us
Nearly 100 years of Hallmark history and world events are chronicled here. the timeline begins at 1910s and ends at 2000s. for some reasons, we only took the picture of the timeline from 1970s to 2000s.
