Missouri Bicentennial Living History and Holiday Shopping featuring Made-in-Missouri

Tuesday, 28 September 2021 by Morgan Dennehy

Join us Sunday, November 14, 2021, from 2-4 pm for Missouri Bicentennial Living History and Christmas Shopping featuring Made-in-Missouri: Ripped from the Newspaper Headlines! Historic Sappington House is pleased to welcome Anne Williams’ one-act play taken from letters to the editor in the first newspaper printed west of the Mississippi River, the Missouri Gazette. In 1818 and 1819, the paper printed dueling letters from two St. Louis lawyers and the supposed “Farmer from St. Charles.” Entertaining and informative, the half-hour skit talks about the Missouri Compromise and how Missouri entered the Union in 1821. Then in the Loft Gift Shop decked with everything for the holidays, you will find many locally made items for gift giving. Join us at The Barn restaurant at 1015 S. Sappington Road 63126 for the play and light refreshments at no charge along with shopping. For more information, call 314-822-8171 or access historicsappingtonhouse.org

Bicentennial ArtFest and Ice Cream Social

Wednesday, 23 June 2021 by Morgan Dennehy

Happy Birthday Missouri! August 10, 2021 is the 200th anniversary of statehood.  StL Arts Chamber, artists and arts organizations are throwing a party. Join us for the ArtFest and Ice Cream Social on August 7th from 10AM to 2PM from Grand Center through the Hodiamont Greenway to the Delmar Loop for art, performance and ICE CREAM!

We are going for the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest ice cream social and need your help. The current record is 962 participants in an ice cream social in Italy. With Bold Spoon Creamery and Baked Bear selling ice cream, certainly, St. Louis can top that! After all, the ice cream cone was popularized right here at the 1904 World’s Fair.

Thinking of the 1904 World’s Fair, did you know that Meet Me in St. Louis was actually written and set in the Academy Neighborhood, one of the neighborhoods along the Hodaimont Greenway? Join the St. Louis Public Library at the ArtFest to find out more and have some fun.

Some of the fun to watch for includes performances by Shakespeare Festival, Blues and Jazz musicians, a children’s street dance competition with Consuming Kinetics Dance Company, a parade by Joy Parade and so much more.

The map of the festivities and locations of programming will be posted here soon.

And, keep watching as we are adding other locations to our ArtFest and Ice Cream Social birthday bash!

Our past calendars (in recent years) have addressed the following topics as they apply to present-day Wildwood: The Civil War, One-Room Schoolhouses, Early Churches, WWI and WWII.  Our calendars are free of charge and are widely distributed to the public, businesses schools and churches in the area.

Save Allen Cemetery

Tuesday, 05 February 2019 by shsmoweb

PAST EVENT

Allen Cemetery is a nearly 200-year-old cemetery located between Franklin and St. Louis County. The cemetery contains dozens of Civil War and WW1 burials, interments of pioneering families of Missouri, and even MLB player Bob Klinger and his family. An organized clean-up and preservation day was held on April 27, 2019. Multiple local organizations joined together to help clean up this treasured landmark. It is relevant to Missouri 2021’s mission because, through this restoration effort, we helped to keep a physical tie to this critical crossroad of Missouri. In 1826, many pioneering families traveling between St. Louis and Franklin County did not reach their final destination. Several of those pioneering families later had descendants that remained in this area who then served our country in the wars that followed, such as the Allens, Shoults, Wenglers, Brockmeiers, Whitworths and many more.
