| 5/16/2026 | St. Louis was an active stop on the Underground Railroad with its close proximity to the free state of Illinois. One of St. Louis's most prominent conductors on the Underground Railroad was Mary Meachum. The widow of a free, black minister John Berry Meachum spent years with her husband teaching both free and enslaved blacks how to read and write, defying Missouri law. In May 1855, Mary led a boat of freedom-seekers on a midnight crossing of the Mississippi River toward Alton, Illinois. Upon arriving at shore, the party was met by law enforcement and all arrested, including Meachum. While the fates of most of the enslaved are unknown, Mary was released from custody shortly after the event and never charged. Local Meachum historian Angela DaSilva will discuss the St. Louis and the Underground Railroad and the brave individuals who sought to help those seeking freedom in a free state. more info... |
| 5/16/2026 | A historical person is no longer able to speak for themselves, but what they leave behind can offer interesting clues about their life. As the park commemorates the 200th anniversary of Julia Dent Grant’s birth in 2026, a special exhibit about her life will be on display throughout the summer. Through Julia’s personal items, visitors will be immersed in her role as a family-oriented woman and public figure. Historian and Curator Nick Sacco will discuss the effort to curate this exhibit and highlight several artifacts, including the oldest known photo of Julia from the early 1850s, materials from her 1848 wedding, and a first edition copy of her Personal Memoirs. The exhibit will officially open following the program and attendees are invited to be among the first to explore this uniquely assembled collection. The exhibit will run through September 30, 2026, in the museum rotunda. more info... |

| 5/21/2026 | ![]() Are you truly thriving in your business or just getting by? What if the key to your next level of confidence, leadership, and resilience is already written in the stories of women who broke barriers before you? Join us for an engaging and energizing program with historian Rebecca Now, who brings to life the bold, determined women who expanded opportunities for us all. Their challenges—and triumphs—offer more than inspiration; they offer real lessons in persistence, innovation, and courage you can apply right now. ✨ Walk away with renewed motivation ✨ Fresh perspective on leadership ✨ A deeper connection to the legacy you’re continuing Because when women understand the strength of those who came before them, they lead with greater purpose today. Rebecca Now is an author, innovative historian, and performer with a passion for women’s rights history. Rebecca developed a reenactment trio performing Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Sojourner Truth. Her non-profit, Voices of American HERstory, performs nationwide for community groups, national historical parks, schools, and more. She is the author of the award-winning book, Borrowed Courage, exploring the journey of three 21st-century women, each of whom forged a bond and profound respect for a 19th-century women’s rights pioneer. Rebecca partnered with Dr. Marty K. Casey in 2023 to develop a compilation book, InHER Power, INHER Wisdom, a Woman’s Guide to Overcoming Challenges and Growing Into Your Power, which brought together 23 women of diverse backgrounds in the St. Louis Metro Area to share stories of overcoming and healing. The book became an international bestseller. Join with other women from Affton & Lemay! Along with networking, the goal for this small group is to share, support, educate, and encourage fellow women in the Chamber. Each meeting will have a speaker that will focus on topics and issues relevant to women in & out of the workplace.
