Kansas has many attractions for tourists and even the locals. Museums always seem to hold a special interest especially for people interested in sightseeing. The Deaf Cultural Center in Olathe, Kansas is no exception, as many people come to see what it's all about. Deaf Cultural Center near Kansas City, KS was started by William Marra, who began his collection for the museum in 1930.
You'll be amazed at all the interesting things you'll see at the Deaf Cultural Center. The staff is run by six board of directors that have made it their goal to make this the best it can be for the deaf, the hearing impaired and all the guests that come to visit. They, along with the staff, are constantly making new strides in technology to make life easier and more convenient for the deaf. One of their most recent advancements, which they are very proud of, is the voice to text and text to voice for hand held phones. Other things in the making are the printouts and educational curriculum they are making for the Deaf Cultural Center to be handed out at schools to let them know all about the center and what they can expect if they come to visit.
Another addition to their many tasks at hand is making DCC (Deaf Cultural Center) signs to be hung up on the interstate highways. Any time tourists or travelers are passing by; they'll see big signs describing the Center, what they are doing, and how to get to the Center.
One of their major league baseball players that happen to be deaf was just indicted to the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. To commemorate this, they had a celebration called, "Luther 'Dummy' Taylor Day". This was a real moment of pride for the center. Speaking of celebrations, they also celebrated William Marra's 100th birthday. The Deaf Cultural Center is a source of interest for everyone that comes to visit and learn about what it's like to be deaf.
