Join us for a captivating day of history and fellowship as we explore the Missouri Civil War Museum at Jefferson Barracks. Saved through a decade-long community restoration, this 22,000-square-foot facility is home to over 1,000 artifacts across multiple galleries, an award-winning historic building, and an exclusive 25-minute film on the war in Missouri. Following a tour of the museum, the group will enjoy lunch together at Cafe Telegraph.
