The Power of the Press: The Newspaper World Eugene Field Inherited
April 21 – September 24, 203

Mid-nineteenth century St. Louisans only had one place to turn to if they wanted to catch up on the latest local, national, and international news – the newspaper. Old-school St. Louis editors used their platforms to promote their personal politics, advocate for their favorite causes, and attack anyone who dared disagree with them. Visit the Eugene Field Library to learn how nineteenth-century newspapermen uplifted the city’s German population while they denounced the Irish, pushed for freeing the enslaved while promoting their expulsion from the country, and championed workers’ rights before turning their back on strikers – all while inspiring Eugene Field on his meteoric rise to fame.

Rounding the Bases: The History of St. Louis Browns Baseball
March 31 – October 22, 2023

St. Louis is a baseball town. Today, we all rally behind our Cardinals. But from 1902 to 1953, the St. Louis Browns split the city’s loyalties–and, eventually, their stadium. While the team didn’t bring home many victories, it had more than its fair share of legendary players, colorful owners, and rowdy stories. Come with us on this journey to rediscover the team in a city that was “First in shoes, first in booze, and last in the American League” in Rounding the Bases!
