A Genealogist's Journey

Capitol Museum is Lacking

11/23/2016

I've always loved history and Missouri.  Recently, I visited our state capital and toured the capitol building with a large group of students.  It was so great to be back home.  While visiting the museum space on the ground floor, I was both excited and disappointed.  The exhibits about the military of Missouri helped rekindle some excitement and a desire to add this element to the Cole County Genealogy website.  However, the museum was quite lacking to say the least.  Since I was a child, I have visited the capitol building many times.  I'm not sure who is in charge of this space, but I think it is greatly neglected.  I wish much more was being done to not only preserve but also display the artifacts of Missouri's history.  All Missourians should have a reason to visit their state capital and our capitol, unfortunately, is lacking as a tourist attraction.
