Day Trip! The Legacy of Saint Louis - Sept. 18

Day Trip! The Legacy of Saint Louis - Sept. 18

Join the Illinois State Museum Society for a relaxing day trip to St. Louis on Thursday, September 18! We’ll start by visiting the “Tuskegee Airmen: America’s Freedom Fighters” exhibit at the Soldiers Memorial Military Museum. Next, we’ll explore the historically significant and newly restored rooms at the Old Courthouse, which was the site of the important Dred Scott and Virginia Minor cases. Afterward, our comfortable motorcoach will take us to lunch, followed by a trip to East St. Louis to visit the House of Miles and learn how the legendary Miles Davis continues to inspire youth to blow their own trumpets of success!
