“We encourage them to come and celebrate the 225th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis with our new exhibition ‘La Ville de Pain Court: St. Louis 1764–1820’ and to take this opportunity to see the major architectural exhibition, ‘The Spirit of H.H. Richardson on the Midland Prairies’ that will be here through Labor Day,” he said.
The History Museum is regularly closed to the public on Mondays.
