Now is your chance to have coffee and conversation with SHSMO art curator Joan Stack. Through June 15, 2026, anyone who joins or renews their SHSMO membership will be entered into a drawing for SHSMO’s Coffee and Conversation with the Curator experience. The winner—and up to five friends—will have the opportunity to enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour with our art curator and learn more about SHSMO’s art collection and its history. The winner will be notified on June 20.
Thank you to all members for being the foundation of SHSMO! With your support, we can preserve Missouri’s history and make it accessible to future generations. We hope you’re enjoying the latest issue of our Missouri Times magazine which celebrates the centennial of the legendary Route 66 and explores the landmarks and people that made the highway into an icon. In addition to receiving three issues of the Missouri Times, all SHSMO memberships include four issues of the Missouri Historical Review journal, discounted rates on research, 10% off in the Society’s Richard Bookstore, and updates on our exhibitions and events. For even more benefits—like Missouri Life magazine—consider going for the gold or above!
