Missouri History Museum

The Missouri Historical Society seeks to deepen the understanding of past choices, present circumstances, and future possibilities; strengthen the bonds of the community; and facilitate solutions to common problems.

The Missouri Historical Society has been active in the St. Louis community since 1866. Founding members organized the historical society "for the purpose of saving from oblivion the early history of the city and state."

Today, the Missouri Historical Society operates the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park and the Library and Research Center at 225 South Skinker Blvd. in the city of St. Louis. The museum offers intriguing and exciting exhibits and important archival resources; quality programming that includes lectures, gallery tours, theater, and special events; excellent food at Bixby's and unique gifts at the Louisiana Purchase shop.
