Established 1876: A History of the City-County Split


Event Details

  • Date: April 1, 2019 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
  • Venue: Kirkwood Library

Kirkwood Historical Society Friends’ Speaker Series

 

We are delighted to bring you Chris Gordon, Director of the Library and Collections for the Missouri History Museum.  Chris will take us back to 1876 to understand why the city and county decided to split.  Considering the current Better Together initiative, we expect this to be an interesting historical perspective on our community.

For this event we will be at the Kirkwood Library 140 East Jefferson.  Lecture begins at 4 pm and ends at 5 pm. Free. All are welcome.
