4/7/2012 | Arrow Rock State Historic Site | Arrow Rock, MO
Arrow Rock State Historic Site and the Friends of Arrow Rock Inc. will host the 2012 First Saturday Lecture Series January through April to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. This lecture will feature Civil War historian and author Jim Denny. Beginning with American settlement in 1810, central Missouri had a distinct regional identify known as the “Boonslick Country.” From statehood to 1861, the Boonslick Country was the economic and political engine of Missouri. That lofty position and unique regional identity was lost because of the Civil War. Denny will give a PowerPoint presentation about the war in the Boonslick and its calamitous effect on the region. The event is free.
Event time: 10 a.m. - noon
