Focus Groups: Thank You to Attendees throughout the State

Wednesday, 07 October 2015 by The State Historical Society of Missouri

Thank you so much for attending the focus group meetings to discuss ideas for celebrating the state’s bicentennial. You gave us so many great ideas! The first round of statewide focus groups is complete, and we are working to identify common themes and ideas from all the meetings. To keep you up to date on the progress of the bicentennial celebration, the State Historical Society of Missouri will be sending emails with announcements of upcoming events. Stay tuned for additional updates on the Missouri Bicentennial Celebration!

There is an event coming up in Springfield that you may want to attend. Missouri State University is hosting a traveling exhibit from the American Bar Association and the Library of Congress. “Magna Carta: Enduring Legacy, 1215-2015” will run from October 12-23, 2015, and will include auxiliary displays that highlight local holdings illustrating the “rule of law” as it relates to Missouri.  The displays will include items from cultural heritage institutions across Southern Missouri as well as one of the State Historical Society’s most significant manuscript items: an 1817 Missouri statehood petition.

Apparently one of several petitions circulated throughout the Missouri Territory and signed by its residents in the fall of 1817, this petition is from the Washington County region. The petitions were presented to Congress in 1818, marking the first attempt to have Missouri admitted as a state.

Series of Bicentennial Focus Groups Gather Celebration Ideas for Missouri’s 200th Birthday

Friday, 15 May 2015 by The State Historical Society of Missouri
Bicentennial Focus Group Meeting Locations, 2014-2015: St. Joseph, Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, Hannibal, St. Louis, Cape Girardeau

Bicentennial Focus Group Meeting Locations, 2014-2015

Planning for the bicentennial celebration of Missouri’s statehood in 2021 is well under way at the State Historical Society. In an attempt to be as inclusive as possible, SHSMO is conducting a series of focus groups around the state to ask community members for their thoughts on how the bicentennial should be honored. Sessions have been held in Columbia, Hannibal, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Springfield to generate interest in bicentennial events and collect ideas for how to best interpret and commemorate 200 years of Missouri history.

Do you have a great idea? There is still time to participate in the Cape Girardeau or St. Joseph focus group. You can also contribute your ideas here.

Northeast Missouri Pilots Bicentennial Focus Group Meeting, Additional Sessions Anticipated

Thursday, 20 February 2014 by The State Historical Society of Missouri

Missouri’s 200th birthday is seven years away as the state officially entered the Union on August 10, 1821. Nonetheless, the State Historical Society of Missouri (SHSMO) is already at work planning for the festivities. SHSMO’s Bicentennial Committee held a focus group meeting on January 24 with Society members and organizations in northeast Missouri. The objective was to begin incorporating the area’s unique history into the statewide bicentennial plans and to develop relationships with local organizations.

“Who better understands the vibrant history of our region than the museums, genealogical societies, and other organizations that help us celebrate it every day?” said Judge Robert Clayton III, a member of the SHSMO board of trustees. “Groups like our host, the Mark Twain Museum, are invaluable resources to help plan a comprehensive approach for the bicentennial.”

The pilot meeting investigated not only possible statewide initiatives but also potential organizational strategies, community stakeholders, and partnerships.

“The focus group was really a fact-finding mission,” Clayton said. “We are glad that so many organizations took part in this exploration of how the state commemorations can support the local ones. A true celebration of Missouri and all its unique facets is complex, but that is the goal. Our diversity is a large part of our story.”

The Bicentennial Committee anticipates additional focus group meetings will follow. Invitations will be sent electronically, so make sure your information is up-to-date if you would like to take part in the planning. Contact SHSMO at shsofmo@umsystem.edu or 573.882.7083 to verify your email address.
