SUMMARY:“Voices and Votes: Democracy in America” – Memphis
DESCRIPTION:Voices & Votes: Democracy in America\, an exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution. Developed as part of the Museum on Main Street (MoMS) program\, this exhibit is designed especially for small cultural organizations and rural audiences that lack regular access to traveling exhibitions due to space and cost limitations. \nVoices & Votes: Democracy in America explores the foundational principles of American democracy\, tracing its roots from the country’s beginnings and examining key questions that continue to shape our nation today: Who has the right to vote? What are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens? Whose voices will be heard? This exhibit serves as a springboard for vital discussions about these issues\, reflecting our local stories and experiences.

SUMMARY:Beer\, Germans & Methodism
DESCRIPTION:When German immigrant Ludwig Jacoby rode his horse into St. Louis in 1841\, he couldn’t have possibly known the chaos that would ensue. The Methodist minister’s pursuit of building a church was met with challenges so extreme it’s amazing he had the will to push forward: race riots\, violence\, and hatred came from varying directions. Set in the context of St. Louis struggling with the influx of humanity due to massive immigration\, this minister and his congregation navigate a timeline of turmoil. St. Louis Germans encountered a clash of cultures each step of the way\, facing unrest during the Temperance Movement\, the instability of World War I\, and the confusion of Prohibition. Beer\, Germans & Methodism is a look at how German Americans traversed the rocky path of religion\, politics\, and yes\, beer.

SUMMARY:War Pigeon! Missouri’s role in the training of pigeons and pigeoneers in WWII
DESCRIPTION:War Pigeon! Missouri’s role in the training of pigeons and pigeoneers in WWII \nNeosho\, Missouri found itself the home to Camp Crowder\, a US Army Signal Corps replacement training center\, built in 1942. In 1943\, the Army Signal Pigeon Corps moved from New Jersey to Missouri and began operations. Camp Crowder became the training and breeding home to the pigeon corps. Several of the ten Signal Pigeon Companies the Army created in WWII were built and training at Camp Crowder. In 1946 the pigeons moved back to New Jersey\, leaving an unusual history in the Missouri base that has long been forgotten. \nThe presentation covers the Pigeon Corps from 1917-1957\, with an emphasis on the training program at Camp Crowder. It also covers the unusual field formation of the Signal Pigeon Company\, the only Army formation capable of self-sustaining it’s own staffing due to breeding of birds. Stories of hero birds are also told. The program survived through the Korean War and was disbanded in 1957\, 40 years after it’s creation.

SUMMARY:Déjà vu Spirit Reunion
DESCRIPTION:Come explore Missouri’s oldest cemetery where visitors that night experience the stories of early pioneers of Ste. Genevieve by lantern light. Although close to Halloween\, the intent of the Spirit Reunion is not to be “scary” but rather educational\, as you’ll see local people in period costume standing near “their final resting place” and talking about their lives\, loves\, and perhaps how they died. Past participants include Missouri’s Model Senator and his wife who was buried twice\, and the reason why. There’s an aristocrat who fled the French Revolution\, and another killed in a politically motivated street fight\, a priest\, known as the “Patriot Priest”\, Missouri’s first United States representative\, a Civil War colonel killed at the Battle of Shiloh\, the daughter of a Spanish era Commandant\, the first Commandant appointed by the Americans after the Louisiana Purchase transfer\, victims of a steamboat explosion\, a child whose life was cut short by cholera\, plus Mississippi River trappers\, traders\, and Native Americans. From stories about life along the Mississippi and early exploration\, to agricultural and domestic customs of early Ste. Genevieve\, come learn and be entertained at the same time.
