Author Talk: Carondelet

This program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on the Eugene Field Museum website ( https://fieldhousemuseum.org/events/programs/ ), by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689, or by emailing [info@fieldhousemuseum.org](mailto:info@fieldhousemuseum.org).

These meetups will be a little different - there may or may not be a meetup host at these events, so this is more a way to let people in this group know these history talks are taking place. You may or may not see anyone else from the meetup group there if you choose to go.

"The Field House Museum is pleased to welcome author and historian Dr. John Wright Sr.! Dr. Wright will discuss his book, Carondelet, and explore the storied past of one of St. Louis’ oldest neighborhoods. With a history of diversity, Carondelet was the home of a large population of African Americans and Irish, German, and Italian immigrants whose stories the Carondelet community continues to preserve. Join us at the Field House Museum, Sunday, October 25th, 2026 at 1:00 pm as we dive in to the history of St. Louis with one of its most passionate storytellers!" from
