So grateful to our community for the great donations to the Museum's annual rummage sale starting Thursday! Great items still coming in the door, including quality furnishings, collectibles, household items from the kitchen to the garden, books, baby cribs, and more! Come shop Thur-Fri in air conditioned comfort!
Happy 4th of July! The Museum is closed today so our volunteers may celebrate with their families. Photo is Tom Moffit's entry in the Museum's "hubcap art" exhibit from 2018.
Penny Drive!The beginning of the school year is still a couple months away, but it is never too soon to start thinking about preserving our state's history. Your school can help keep Missouri's two hundred year old founding documents around for another two hundred years!
The Bicentennial Penny Drive, organized by Missouri Humanities Council, a partner in the Bicentennial Alliance, is taking place in Missouri public elementary schools now through 2021. The goal of the Penny Drive is to raise funding for the conservation of founding state documents in honor of the bicentennial of Missouri statehood. Learn more here: www.mohumanities.org/penny-drive/

We have fantastic photographers who document our community regularly— hope some are contributing to this project!Our thanks to all who have contributed to the My Missouri 2021 Photograph Project! As you can see from the map below, there are still plenty of places across the state not yet represented.
Head to the My Missouri 2021 gallery to see images from the counties in blue: missouri2021.org/my-missouri-2021-photo-gallery/
Counties in white? You are still not represented! Learn how to contribute photographs here: missouri2021.org/my-missouri/
Photographs will be accepted through November 1, 2019. Starting in 2020, two hundred photographs from the project will be exhibited at locations across the state.
