Missouri State History Museum in St Louis

 We wanted to explore the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park while we were in St Louis. This was especially interesting as it covered the history of the development of Forest Park for the Worlds Fair.

The sister plane to the Spirit of St Louis




One portion of the Museum is dedicated to the Worlds Fair







An overview of the building of the World Fair held in Forest Park


Items of all types were on display at the Fair




Another portion of the Museum is dedicated to the history of the Mississippi on the effect on the development of Missouri


Nice exhibits of river boats covered the history of that technology








Other levels of the museum covered the timeline of Missouri history






The personalities and skills of famous Missourian's were detailed 





I loved this Chuck Berry story

You can't cover Missouri history without covering beer making


Lots to see in this museum. It especially gives a good overview to how Forest Park was developed and what an integral part of St Louis that has become.
