Yes, the bank is still a museum. I don't know about the play because I've only been to Kearny during the spring and autumn. I've been to Independence as well and there are some good historical sites there. I think that George Todd, another bushwacker commander, is also buried in that cemetery. Arch Clement was killed in Lexington (another great battlefield to visit) and is buried nearby. I had three ancestors who rode with Quantrill so this era has been an interest of mine for quite some time.
ETA: I just visited Northfield, MN recently and the bank there is also a James-Younger gang museum with some nice artifacts including Cole Younger's pistols and the bank's accounts book from that day in 1876.

Speaking of Lexington there is still a cannon ball from back then still stuck in the front side of the city hall building.
