Missouri History Museum


Missouri History Museum

We headed on over to the Missouri History Museum today, where they are having a wonderful exhibit honoring George Washington Carver. If you live in St. Louis, you should definitely stop in and see it.

In addition, there's a great Lindbergh exhibit, which doesn't focus on the actual flight as much as the hoopla surrounding Lindbergh once the flight was successful. It was overwhelming!

There was also a small display honoring Anheuser-Busch, which probably should be put in the basement, at least until the layoffs are over. While I understand that it's a part of our area's history, this rough patch should probably be a little more in the past before we're ready to honor it again.

We stepped into Meriwether's Restaurant at the museum for brunch. The food display was practically an exhibit in itself...and we made quite history of it!

All in all, it was a nice few hours in a great St. Louis Museum. It's right on the Metrolink, so it has very easy access for everyone. I highly recommend putting a visit on your calendar very soon!
