MAMA Showme Missouri Museums and Archives: Wilson's Creek National Battlefield

Join Kristine Abbey, public information officer at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, for a sneak peak of the park’s renovated visitor center and museum exhibit areas. The $4.5 million renovation project, now in its final phases, adds nearly 2,000 square feet of exhibit space. Significant artifacts on display for the first time include the original “Lyon bed” (farmhouse bed that held General Nathaniel Lyon’s body after the battle of Wilson’s Creek) and a rare Model 1860 Henry repeating rifle recently purchased by the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Foundation. 

MAMA would like to thank the Missouri Humanities Council for its support of MAMA's programming.
