Tuesdays @ 2: "Ella Ewing, Missouri Giantress"

6/12/2012 | Missouri State Museum | Jefferson City, MO

From June 5 through Oct. 30, meet at the Missouri State Museum each Tuesday to explore Missouri’s cultural and natural resources through a special tour or program. These programs are geared toward children ages 6-12 years, but people of any age are welcome to attend. Programs will take place in the museum classroom, which is located in the History Hall (east wing). On June 12, learn about Ella Ewing, a lady from northern Missouri who toured with the Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey circus as an adult because of her extreme height. She is reported to have been over 8 feet tall and was perhaps the tallest woman in the world during her lifetime. See how you measure up to Ella!

Event time: 2 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
