No matter your age, interests or budget, you’ll find something fun to do in St. Louis this weekend.
For more than 150 years, the Missouri Historical Society has collected and preserved St. Louis artifacts – objects that future generations can use to make sense of the past. From photographs to textiles and machinery to instruments, select items are now part of a permanent exhibition at the Missouri History Museum. “You might think you know St. Louis,” Hattie Felton, director of curatorial affairs and curator of fine and decorative arts at the Missouri Historical Society, says, “but Collected shines a new light on the city’s history.”
History buffs will want to explore other sites and museums throughout the region. From Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site to Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum and the Missouri Civil War Museum to The Griot Museum of Black History, local attractions cover a range of significant topics and spotlight a variety of historical figures. Guided tours are also a great way to connect with St. Louis history.
