Free Zoom Talk: Tiny Geography: Micronations. Enclaves, Tiny Countries
2026-01-07 19:00 - 20:30
Free Zoom talk: Tiny Geography: Micronations. Enclaves, Tiny Countries
Wednesday, Jan 07 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
A micronation is a self-proclaimed state that is not recognized by the international community. We have micronations in the United States ruled by Kings and Sultans. There is a micronation in Wisconsin with its own language: where “aa” means Love At First Sight. An exclave is a part of one state surrounded by the territory of another state. Europe has a number of miniature countries, such as Monaco and the Crown Colony of Sark. And you can rest easy knowing that an island nation off the coast of Connecticut has signed a nonaggression pact with the United States Government

MILL CREEK VALLEY & FOREST PARK AT MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM
Friday Jan 30 from 10:15 AM to 12:30 PM

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.

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.

An Abundance of Parks in St. Louis County
St. Louis County is home to a treasure trove of parks, each with its own story, charm and surprises. Come explore the unique features of these community spaces, from historic landmarks and nature trails with wildlife, to sculptures, sport fishing and even a dog park named after a heroic search-and-rescue labrador. Discover where to play adult kickball, where swings are designed for parents and children to share and how to play the game of PINGO. You’ll also learn about a park with its own Speakers Corner, just like the famous one in London! Whether you’re a nature lover, history buff, or just looking for new ways to enjoy your community, open your eyes to the rich possibilities in your own backyard.
(NOTE: these are parks run by cities in St. Louis County – it does not look at County-run parks}
