About us
If you are interested in hearing talks/lectures about St. Louis history, join this group. History talks related to St. Louis that occur within a 30-mile radius of Forest Park will be included. If you are aware of a history talk/lecture that isn't posted, let me know and I can post it.
This group will be a little different - there may or may not be a meetup host at the event - but there may be other members there. This group is mainly a way to let members know about history talks in the area.
