Plan a visit to the Griot Museum of Black History to see the contributions to the St. Louis community that can still be felt today. The museum opened in 1997 and is small and mighty, with a big story. Plan your visit today.
The Field House Museum was once a home to columnist and poet Eugene Field. Many people don’t know about his father Roswell Field who took on Dredd Scott’s lawsuit for freedom before the US Supreme Court. We explore his story during this special presentation.
