11/2/2012 to 11/3/2012 | Missouri State Museum | Jefferson City, MO
With more than 6,300 known caves, Missouri lives up to its nickname “The Cave State.” Missouri is home to a wide variety of natural landscapes, and caves can often be overlooked by people exploring on the land’s surface. At this program, the Missouri State Museum invites you to “enter” Missouri’s caves. For one evening only, part of the Museum’s Resources Hall will be transformed into an underground grotto. Come explore and learn about different cave features and life within a cave. Find out how caves have been used through time by Missouri’s people, from American Indians to outlaws. There will be other cave related hands-on activities and information as well.
Evening entry to the museum will be through the carriage entrance on the south side of the building underneath the grand staircase. The Missouri State Museum is located on the first floor of the Missouri State Capitol.
Event time: 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
