Welcome to the Greater Kansas City Cornish Society Web Page

We were founded in 1994 as a group of people in and near Kansas City, Missouri who were either born in Cornwall or are descendents of Cornish immigrants. We meet several times a year to have a Pasty dinner, talk of Cornwall and things Cornish, and have speakers or entertainers that have a Cornish interest.
We have an interest in our genealogy, and the lives of our forefathers. We interact with other Celtic groups in the area and at times plan joint activities.
