For more than 150 years, St. Louisans have entrusted the Missouri Historical Society with countless objects — photographs, diaries, home movies, clothing, books — items that future generations can turn to in order to help make sense of the past.
Some of these pieces mark defining moments in our region's history, such as Missouri's pivotal role in a heated national debate over slavery or the transatlantic flight that changed aviation. Others reflect everyday life, from what we wore and ate to how we worked and played.
Collected is St. Louis's history brought to life, one map, toy, T-shirt, and painting at a time.
