Join us for a new series of free public programs at noon on the second Tuesday of each month (January through June) at the Center for Missouri Studies. The series launches January 10 with SHSMO Art Curator Joan Stack, who will present “Ten Missouri Works That Help Us Understand Our History.”  You'll learn more about the importance of such works as George Caleb Bingham's "Order No. 11" and the influence of artist Rose O'Neill who lived in the Missouri Ozarks for parts of her adult life and was active in the suffragist movement.

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the State Historical Society of Missouri, History on Elm series will explore a variety of topics each month, ranging from Missouri art and authors to our unique SHSMO collections that delve into sci-fi fandom and U.S. Route 66. No need to register for the series. Just mark your calendar for the second Tuesday each month at noon.
