OUR HISTORY TO TODAY, and a look into the future
About Us
Missouri Humanities’ programs remember the past by exploring Missouri’s Heritage, sharing Veterans stories, and preserving Native American and Civil War history. Additionally, we offer digital programming that includes podcasts, a streaming service, and videos, and we foster young readers through our children’s Read From the Start literacy program.

Exactly, what are the Humanities?
Simply put, the humanities are the study of how people connect to the human experience through history, culture, and traditions.
Their Stories
The Humanities allow us to explore stories from people who came before us, appreciate places that have changed with time, and learn from past ways of thinking in order to form a brighter future for generations to come.
