Hannibal High School

The HHS History Club took their annual field trip to the Missouri History Museum on Tuesday March 26th. While at the MHM students were able to explore two exhibits. The first exhibit, called Seeking St. Louis is a two part exhibit that traces the roots of St. Louis, along with much of Missouri as a whole. On one side, called Currents, lives of Missourians go back nearly 200 hundred years. From the fur trade to modern day industry, the exhibit also teaches about the Civil War and slavery, along with disasters and successes of St. Louis. The collection of artifacts is amazing. The second part of Seeking St. Louis is entitled Reflections. In Reflections, the students were able to take in much of the city's history regarding sports, music, and everything cultural and social history of St. Louis. The history of the Gateway Arch is also included in Reflections. It is neat to see the other designs for the project that placed second, third, and honorable mention during the competition. The next exhibit students explored was called Coloring STL. This exhibit is awesome and is designed for all ages. Coloring STL is an architectural history exhibit. The entire perimeter of the exhibit is dry erase material with dozens of notable structures from St. Louis and its surrounding suburban area. Markers are distributed throughout and visitors are encouraged to color and draw on the buildings in the most creative ways. It was super cool to see elementary age kids coloring, along with many senior citizens enjoying themselves doing the same thing! On the inside of the exhibit there are countless architectural history artifacts. From braille blueprints to all different types of masonry building materials, this exhibit does not disappoint. Some of the blueprints on display are blueprints of structures that were proposed, but never financed. Overall, the students enjoyed the trip tremendously. These students truly enjoy history! We always stop at Chick-Fil-A to eat too, so that is always a plus. The museum staff greeted us and kindly took a group picture for us. The group picture is behind the older part of the museum that was built in 1913 with funds obtained from the 1904 World's Fair. The statue behind is that of Thomas Jefferson, commemorating the Louisiana Purchase. The second picture is a sketch by Andrew Krigbaum of King Kong atop the Old Courthouse with Mr. Coniglio in hand. 😊 #HannibalProud 📸 Courtesy Mr. Jim Coniglio
