You’ll learn about the Virginia settlers and German farmers who tamed the forested wilderness, the changes brought by Route 66, the influences of the company towns, the effects of St Louis growth and the subsequent impetus for local residents to create a new city in 1995. Ms Beck’s talk will be illustrated with a slide show of vintage maps and photos. No registration necessary.
