Archives Alive! Celebrates Missouri's History
RSVP NOW!!!
Join us in celebrating Missouri through Archives Alive!, the Missouri State Archives interactive performance for third and fourth graders. The educational performances follow time travelers Molly and Walter over 200 years into the past to share the stories of the earliest Missourians and European settlers; Missouri's part in the American Civil War and both World Wars; and many people throughout Missouri's History including Great Walker, Mark Twain, George Washington Carver and Virginia Minor.
These 45 minute performances, sponsored by Hawthorn Bank, the Missouri Association for Museums and Archives, the Rock Island Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Friends of the Missouri State Archives in partnership with the Missouri Humanities Council and with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, will take place at the Missouri State Archives, a division of the Secretary of State’s office, in Jefferson City, just down the hill from the Capitol.
