Statehood Day Celebration

It's Missouri's birthday and you're invited! Come help celebrate the 197th anniversary of Missouri becoming a state. The historic site will host the World Bird Sanctuary’s "Raptor Awareness" program at 1 p.m. along with some other special demonstrations, programs and an open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is invited to view the buildings where our first legislators and senators met from 1821-1826 to go about the business of operating as a new state.
