Drop-In History: Indigenous Peoples In Missouri
Celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday by exploring Missouri’s stories right where they happened at the Wornall/Majors House Museums. This six-part series of free, drop-in programs invites you to wander, engage, and chat your way through hands-on history experiences.
The series kicks off with Drop-In History: Indigenous Peoples in Missouri on March 26. From 5:00 to 7:30 p.m., move at your own pace through the Alexander Majors House Museum, where presenters will be stationed in different rooms ready for conversation. Hear about Indigenous Civil War soldiers, the Shawnee Indian Mission, and Indigenous peoples in archeology—and ask questions directly of the researchers who study them.
Elementary story time is at 5:30 p.m.
At 6:30 p.m., gather in the Alexander Majors Barn for a keynote presentation by Dr. Carlton Shield Chief Gover, titled Archeology 101.
This event is made possible with funds from The Missouri Humanities Council.
