Museum Programs in 2020
The 2020 Speaker Series kicked off on Saturday, January 11 with our sold-out program, Perspectives of Freedom Suits and the Dred Scott Case. The Field House Museum would like to thank our speakers Dr. David Konig, Lynne Jackson, and Michael Everman, for being part of our panel presentation. With the popularity of the program, the Field House was able to reach even broader audiences by streaming the event live on Facebook.
Our next program will feature Susie Cobbledick, who is the book conservator of the Peter H. Raven Library at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Join us on March 7, 2020 at 2 pm, when she will be discussing her profession and a special case study on a book she conserved.
The third discussion of the year will be on April 18, 2020 at 1 pm with author Christopher Alan Gordon, who will be discussing his popular book on St. Louis history, Fire, Pestilence, and Death: St. Louis 1849. This program is sure to be a crowd pleaser with books available for purchase before and after the program.
On May 16, 2020 the Museum will be hosting a Local Authors Book Fair. Local authors will be able to highlight their works, 
which will be available for purchase. Stay tuned for more information on attending authors! The fair will accompany the Museum’s exhibit, The Power of Words: The Ongoing Tale of Black Children’s Literature.
This summer, Valerie Battle Kienzle will share her book What’s with St. Louis Vol.2 on June 27, at 2 pm. During this program, Valerie will be taking the audience through the oddities and burning questions that plague St. Louisans, such as, why there are turtles in the fence around the Old Courthouse.
Finishing out the summer, the Museum will again be partnering with the Missouri Humanities Council bringing Stephen Sharp Davis to the Museum on August 1, 2020. He will present his book, “Mormonising” Political and Religious Dissent in 19th-Century Missouri, which will look at how politicians handled what they called a “Mormon Problem” and how they applied the same tactics in dealing with abolitionists and slavery.
All of these wonderful speaker events will be free to the public thanks to our recent Fund-A-Need donors; however, space is limited so we ask that you please RSVP in advance if you would like to attend. Look for more information on each of these programs in the near future!
