Author’s Journey Across Missouri to Speak at State Historical Society

A former director of Missouri Tourism, Robinson will be the featured speaker at the State Historical Society of Missouri’s History on Elm program, Tuesday, May 14, noon- 1 p.m. at the Center for Missouri Studies, 605 Elm St., Columbia.
