MILL CREEK VALLEY & FOREST PARK AT MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM
Friday Jan 30 from 10:15 AM to 12:30 PM
Location:
Mill Creek Valley is the sad story of a neighborhood that was torn down because city authorities declared it a slum. But it was a vibrant place. The History Museum’s exhibit will cover the life and death of Mill Creek Valley. 30,000 people had to find another place to live. People nicknamed the area “Hiroshima”. A much happier story is the wall exhibit of Forest Park, a St. Louis gem.. We will have an optional lunch in the Museum’s restaurant, run by Amaghetti. RSVP for this visit to the History Museum to Doug Schneider ParadiseDouglas@gmail.com for the meeting point.
