Struggle for Statehood Exhibit

Explore the significance of Missouri’s statehood in a traveling exhibit that examines the conflict, crisis, and compromise surrounding its admission into the Union in commemoration of its bicentennial this year. Learn about the history of Missouri leading up to its battle for admission and how that history shaped the future state on both a local and national level. The exhibit was developed by the Missouri Humanities Council in consultation with the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy and is supported by The Bicentennial Alliance.
