Missouri Community Legacies provides an opportunity for local groups, school classes, and others to document local traditions and creative expressions, meaningful places, and organizations and institutions of significance to communities, counties, and regions around the State. When completed, the documentation will be donated to the State Historical Society of Missouri research center responsible for collecting in the county where the individual project emerged. The result will be a “snap shot” of Missouri during its Bicentennial—built by the people of Missouri—and a resource of long-term use to Missourians and others interested in the history and culture of the State.
