SUMMARY:The Great Tornado of 1925
DESCRIPTION:A hundred years ago\, the deadliest tornado in American history originated in southern Missouri. Now known as the “Tri-State Tornado\,” the storm originated near Ellington and swept through southeast Missouri before crossing into Illinois and Indiana. The devastation of the Tri-State Tornado revealed flaws in the nation’s storm forecasting and reporting system that grew out of a lack of coordination and a misplaced desire to avoid public panic\, flaws that took decades to correct. This presentation uses contemporary accounts and images to re-create Missouri’s portion of “the forgotten storm.”

SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Speaker Series: Tom Connor\, Joplin's Zinc King
DESCRIPTION:The Thursday Evening Speaker Series is free of charge and open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Unless otherwise noted\, programs will be held at the Missouri State Archives\, located at 600 W. Main Street in Jefferson City. The series is underwritten by the Friends of the Missouri State Archives. \nBorn in Ireland\, Tom Connor lived the classic American rags-to-riches story. He witnessed several of the Civil War’s major battles as a newsboy with the 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry\, then spent a decade wandering around the U.S. working various odd jobs before ending up in southwest Missouri. Connor soon developed a knack for knowing which tracts of land had rich zinc deposits beneath. He bought thousands of acres of land containing the ore and was a millionaire by the time he turned 31. He also “grubstaked” countless other miners\, furnishing picks\, drills\, and other supplies in exchange for a percentage of royalties if a strike resulted. Unlike Joplin’s other mining kings\, Connor never built a mansion for himself\, preferring to spend his money on others. He gave thousands of dollars to churches and charities in Joplin land his hometown of Tiffin\, Ohio\, but his greatest gift was “the finest hotel property in this part of the country.” \nPresented by author Chad Stebbins

SUMMARY:History talk: Mary Meachum and the St. Louis Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:St. Louis was an active stop on the Underground Railroad with its close proximity to the free state of Illinois. One of St. Louis’s most prominent conductors on the Underground Railroad was Mary Meachum. The widow of a free\, black minister John Berry Meachum spent years with her husband teaching both free and enslaved blacks how to read and write\, defying Missouri law. In May 1855\, Mary led a boat of freedom-seekers on a midnight crossing of the Mississippi River toward Alton\, Illinois. Upon arriving at shore\, the party was met by law enforcement and all arrested\, including Meachum. While the fates of most of the enslaved are unknown\, Mary was released from custody shortly after the event and never charged. Local Meachum historian Angela DaSilva will discuss the St. Louis and the Underground Railroad and the brave individuals who sought to help those seeking freedom in a free state. \nThis program is free\, please call (314) 842-1867 ext. 230 to make reservations.

SUMMARY:The Great Tornado of 1925
DESCRIPTION:A hundred years ago\, the deadliest tornado in American history originated in southern Missouri. Now known as the “Tri-State Tornado\,” the storm originated near Ellington and swept through southeast Missouri before crossing into Illinois and Indiana. The devastation of the Tri-State Tornado revealed flaws in the nation’s storm forecasting and reporting system that grew out of a lack of coordination and a misplaced desire to avoid public panic\, flaws that took decades to correct. This presentation uses contemporary accounts and images to re-create Missouri’s portion of “the forgotten storm.”
