The Struggle for Statehood Exhibit
Relaunched in Partnership with The Stars and Stripes National Museum and Library
Struggle for Statehood explores Missouri’ journey to statehood and why its application for admission into the United States sparked a national crisis that almost destroyed the very union Missouri sought to join. Audiences will learn about the significance of the “Missouri Crisis” and its lasting implications on our state and nation.
The Struggle for Statehood exhibit will be on display at The Stars and Stripes National Museum and Library from August 2025 to August 2026. Located in Bloomfield, Missouri, the Stars and Stripes National Museum and Library is committed to preserving the history of the Stars and Stripes Newspaper and the US Armed Forces.
