Quarterly Meeting Speaker: Jim Baker

On Tuesday, March 13 the Kirkwood Historical Society will meet at Mudd’s Grove at
7:00 pm. The speaker for the evening will be Mr. Jim Baker, author of “Meramec
Highlands-Another View”. Mr. Baker will give a brief overview of the topics covered in
his book. He will then provide a closer view of the history of the Frisco Railroad in the
Kirkwood area, the Meramec Highlands Depot, the Frisco’s first woman station agent and
Pretty Boy Floyd’s 1925 stay at the Meramec Highlands store. A question and answer
period will follow Mr. Baker’s presentation.
