Missouri Day

10/21/2015 | First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site | St. Charles, MO

On March 22, 1915, the 48th General Assembly set aside the first Monday in October each year as "Missouri Day" due to the efforts of Mrs. Anna Brosius Korn, a native Missourian. In 1969, the 75th General Assembly changed the date to the third Wednesday in October. Missouri Day is a time for schools to honor the state and for the people of the state to celebrate the achievements of all Missourians. This is the sixth year the historic site will celebrate Missouri Day and this year, we will learn about water. Come learn about water habitats, plants, animals, water monitoring, water quality, erosion, river history, recreation, conservation and much more, including a stream trailer. School groups, as well as the general public, are invited to wander through all the activities at their leisure. The event will be held at the First Missouri State Capitol where, in 1821, the state’s first legislators and senators undertook the task of reorganizing and preparing Missouri to be a progressive state! This is a free unique learning event. Click here to read the news release.
