The Missouri Historical Society at 150-plus — what's changed across the three buildings, what's being preserved, and how visitors can help write the next chapter.

Even though the Missouri Historical Society is over 150 years old, we're constantly changing. The Missouri History Museum, Library & Research Center, and Soldiers Memorial Military Museum you visit today are much different than they were even just a few years ago. And they'll continue to change in the weeks, months, and years ahead.
Learn the history of the Missouri Historical Society and its three locations, get up to speed on the groundbreaking work happening to preserve St. Louis history and build a strong future for our region, and help us write our next chapter in this new exhibit at the Missouri History Museum.
Audio description of images featured in this exhibit is available for visitors to play on their own devices. Visitors can also listen to an audio version of the exhibit labels.
