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.

SUMMARY:War Pigeon! Missouri’s role in the training of pigeons and pigeoneers in WWII
DESCRIPTION:Neosho\, 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:Speaker Series: The Skouras Brothers and the Making of the Immigrant American Dream
DESCRIPTION:Mike Tsichlis explores the life of the Skouras brothers\, three Greek immigrants who found the American Dream in St. Louis. The Skouras brothers\, driven from their home in Greece by impoverishment\, sought opportunity in the United States in 1910. As they worked in hotels in St. Louis\, the Skouras brothers looked for opportunities to make their mark. Eventually\, the brothers found that opportunity in the theatre and film industry.\nJoin us\, Sunday\, March 15th at 1:00pm to learn more about the unique story of the Skouras brothers.\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. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Tsichlis was born and raised in the City of St. Louis and is a lifetime resident of the St. Louis region. He has had a passion for learning about St. Louis and Missouri history since reading about local and state history in middle school and visiting historic sites and museums with family and on class field trips\, including the Eugene Field House! After finishing a doctorate in Public Policy Studies at Saint Louis University and completing a dissertation examining demographic change in St. Louis\, Dr. Tsichlis went on to pursue a career in higher education and non-profit institutional advancement. During this time\, he took his childhood interest in regional history to a new level\, deeply researching\, publishing\, and speaking on a variety of topics related to St. Louis and Missouri history\, with a special interest in ethnic history\, theater and cinema arts\, firefighting and public safety\, and demographic change.\nHe is currently completing a biographical manuscript on the Skouras brothers\, three Greek immigrant siblings who came to St. Louis and went on to become major motion picture moguls during the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema. He resides in Fenton\, Missouri with his spouse\, a retired school principal and university professor\, and their college-aged son.
