‘Ellen’ sends Kansas’ Macey Hensley on the road again

Kansas’ pint-size presidential expert is on another traveling assignment for talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

The “Ellen” show sent Macey Hensley, 7, of Council Grove, on a road trip in an RV this summer and shared her most recent adventure on social media. Her first trip was to Boston.

This time, Macey and her family, including Grandma Marsha, went to Nashville. Among their stops: former President Andrew Jackson’s home and the historic Grand Ole Opry.

Macey has appeared on the popular TV show numerous times. She first wowed DeGeneres two years ago with her knowledge of U.S. presidents. Since then, she has met country stars Dierks Bentley and Kenny Chesney, former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, and former President Obama.

The popular TV show has sent her on taped field trips to the White House, Disney World, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Mount Rushmore and even on a Carnival cruise.

Macey was also featured in an ad campaign last year from the Kansas Travel and Tourism. Macey visits the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Exploration Place in Wichita and the state Capitol in Topeka.
