In this edition of Landing After Hours, Nancy Arnold Thompson and Michelle Brooks will combine their talents of genealogy and storytelling to bring to life the individuals buried under the uniform white markers at Jefferson City National Cemetery. More than 1,200 service members are buried in the eastern one-quarter of the 1000 block of East McCarty Street, which shares a matching outer wall of limestone and wrought iron with Woodland-Old City Cemetery next door. One of the smallest remaining national cemeteries, it holds generations of local history and preserves sacrifices of those far from home.
The Missouri State Museum's Landing After Hours program is held the first Wednesday of each month at Jefferson Landing State Historic Site, located at 100 Jefferson St. Doors to the site’s Lohman Building open at 6:30 p.m., and the program begins at 7 p.m. Convenient parking is available in the lot next to the Lohman Building.
In addition to being held in person, the program will also be livestreamed on the Missouri State Museum’s Facebook page. Did you know you don't have to have a Facebook account to view Facebook videos or live programs? Simply follow the link and enjoy: facebook.com/MissouriStateMuseum.
