SUMMARY:Christmas and Country Favorites with Dottie Dillard and Anita Kerr
DESCRIPTION:In the 1950s and 60s\, Springfieldian Dottie Dillard\, Anita Kerr\, and the Anita Kerr Quartet sang backup on a quarter of all Nashville recordings during that period. In 2019\, Kerr guessed the Quartet had sung on 200 songs a year since it was formed in 1956. They were instrumental in inventing the “Nashville Sound\,” generally defined as a mix of country music flavored with pop rhythms\, instrumentation\, and themes. The group won a Grammy in 1965 for Best Performance by a Vocal Group\, edging out the Beatles. They won another Grammy in 1966 and several other awards during the next decade. However\, Anita and Dottie are rarely mentioned in histories of popular music. This program will introduce you to Anita Kerr and Springfieldian Dottie Dillard\, who was Anita’s talented alto singer. It will also be a listening experience\, as we focus on the Quartet’s contribution to classic recordings of your favorite Christmas songs and Nashville hit records.

SUMMARY:Lecture\,"Missouri in 1861: The Rise and Fall of John and Jessie Fremont
DESCRIPTION:Gregory Wolk\, author of a new work of nonfiction published by the Missouri Historical Society Press\, describes the eventful 100 days in 1861 that western explorer John C. Fremont commanded the Western Department of the US Army from headquarters in St. Louis. An in-depth discussion of important military campaigns of the period is coupled with political intrigue when Fremont’s wife – the daughter of Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton – joins her husband’s fight against the powerful Francis Blair family of Washington and St. Louis in order to advance the cause of emancipation. In 1861\, President Abraham Lincoln resists the call for emancipation\, fearing that Missouri and Kentucky may join the Confederacy.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Missouri Slave Stampedes and the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:In the decades before the Civil War\, Missouri’s unique position as a slave state bordering free states made it a flashpoint for escape attempts. Join us on Saturday\, February 28\, 2026\, at 1:00 pm when Dr. Charles Hotle explores the dramatic “slave stampedes\,” large\, coordinated efforts by enslaved people to flee across the Mississippi River into Illinois or north into Iowa. While some succeeded\, many were thwarted\, leaving behind court records and testimony that now offer rare insights into the lives\, strategies\, and networks of freedom seekers. This program examines what these stampedes reveal about the realities of slavery in Missouri\, the workings of the Underground Railroad\, and how exaggerated reports of such escapes fueled rising sectional tensions.\nThis program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on our website\, by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689\, or by emailing info@fieldhousemuseum.org.
