About us
The Missouri Historical Society (MHS) makes history meaningful and accessible through its three physical locations in St. Louis: the Missouri History Museum, the Library & Research Center and the Soldiers Memorial Military Museum. MHS has been active in the St. Louis community since 1866. Founding members established the organization “for the purpose of saving from oblivion the early history of the city and state.” Today, MHS serves as the confluence of historical perspectives and contemporary issues. Collecting for more than 150 years, MHS houses one of the largest collections of artifacts and historical materials of any regional history institution in the United States. Missouri Historical Society Members and donors support its work of collecting, preserving and sharing the history of this region. The Missouri History Museum and the Library & Research Center receive funding from the St. Louis City and County taxpayers through the Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District.

"When people think of historic houses, they usually think that means really old, but we need to ask ourselves what we even mean by a house’s history. Is it the people who lived in it? The history of the land? How it has changed over time? I love finding that out for people." MHS Public Historian Amanda Clark shares some tips on researching the history of your home and the land it sits on. One of her biggest takeaways? Start at our Library & Research Center for the oldest map of landowners you can find.
