St. Louisans are experiencing a growing community interest in uncovering the history of their city and in sharing that research with each other.
The Missouri Historical Society, an active participant in this process, is co-sponsoring a series of practical and lively conference workshops on three different themes in St. Louis history.
Each half-day conference will explore one theme from several perspectives.
The first conference is entitled, “The Patterns of Residence,” and will be held on Saturday, April 21.
In the morning, three group discussions will be presented: Julius Hunter will discuss “Building in Their Own Images,” Marie Schmitz will talk about The Styles We Chose,” and Alex Yard’s topic will be “Where We Lived.” The program will conclude with a panel discussion on Research-in-Progress.
The conference will be over at 1 p.m.
Registration is limited and the deadline is April 9.
For further information, call Kathy Peterson, 361-9265.
The other two conferences are: “The Anti-Slavery Cause” on May 19 (registration deadline is May 7) and “The Urban Landscape” on June 16 (registration deadline, June 4).

A bright red, white and blue banner, being adjusted by Ralph Seyer, announces the creation of a new gallery at the Missouri Historical Society in the west wing of the Jefferson Memorial Building in Forest Park. As part of an ongoing renovation program, the space is being transformed into an exhibition area and audio-visual theatre called “Where Rivers Meet: The History of St. Louis, 1764-1900.” The new gallery is scheduled to open April 15, when the Stupp Memorial Pool and Fountain, facing Lindell Boulevard, will be officially dedicated.
