Museum After Hours: Walking through Time

2/1/2012 | Missouri State Museum | Jefferson City, MO

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to visit the museum at night, or your schedule doesn’t allow daytime outings, come join us for special programs and to view the exhibits. You will find both old favorites and new, including “Civil War Missouri: A House Dividing,” an exhibit that commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Evening entry to the museum will be through the carriage entrance on the south side of the building underneath the grand staircase.

At 7 p.m., you can attend a program called “Walking through Time,” during which you will get a chance to see some of the diverse shoes that are part of the museum collection. From beaded Osage Indian moccasins to women’s high heels manufactured in Jefferson City by the Tweedie Shoe Co., these shoes are a unique part of Missouri history. This program will take place in the museum classroom, which is located in the History Hall (east wing).

Event time: 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
