This October has been extremely busy, sort of stressful and ultimately successful thanks to the support from our amazing Mourning Society members, site volunteers and staff, attendees and of course our partners at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum, Lafayette Park Conservancy, Jefferson County Library, and The Campbell House Museum.
We are taking a bit of a break from events but we are well on our way to planning more weird, wonderful, out of the ordinary historical experiences for you in 2020.
Also on our radar for next year is the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Leading into that celebration The St Louis Suffrage League will be marching in the Downtown St Louis Veteran’s Day parade on November 9th, 2019 and we will have a full schedule of events starting in March for Women’s History Month. If you are interested in marching with us or getting involved in our suffrage reenactments contact us for more information.

You can see us for our last event this year on December 7th, 2019 at A Victorian Holiday at the General Daniel Bissell House where we will be reviving the 19th century tradition of Christmas ghost stories. There will also be parlor games and other holiday entertainments.
As always, please reach out to us with any questions or comments. You can use the contact form right here to send us a message.
