The Missouri History Museum is hosting a screening of Crossroads of a Nation, a one-hour documentary presented by Missouri Humanities Council and Kansas City PBS that details the history of Missouri as a crossroads of the nation as it expanded west across the continent.
From the region’s indigenous cultures to the brink of the Civil War, this film traces Missouri’s indelible—and undeniable—mark on American history. After the film, stay for a special talkback with producer and St. Louis media mainstay Cat Neville and Dr. Andrea Hunter, Director of the Tribal Historic Preservation Office with the Osage Nation.
This event is part of the museum’s Thursday Nights at the Museum, a weekly series where the museum exhibits are open late and you can enjoy pop-up activities, a cash bar, food and more. The film screening begins at 6:30. The event is free. Tickets are not required but please register with SOS so we know to expect you.
