MILL CREEK VALLEY & FOREST PARK AT MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM<\/p>\n

Friday Jan 30 from 10:15 AM to 12:30 PM<\/p>\n

Location:<\/p>\n

Mill Creek Valley is the sad story of a neighborhood that was torn down because city authorities declared it a slum.\u00a0 But it was a vibrant place.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 People nicknamed the area “Hiroshima”.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 RSVP for this visit to the History Museum to Doug Schneider ParadiseDouglas@gmail.com<\/a> for the meeting point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
