This gripping narrative begins in 1849, as Abraham Lincoln—believing his political career to be over—returns to law practice, while his longtime friend and rising star Stephen Douglas continues his ascent in American politics.Jacobi explores how Lincoln, the quiet and determined “tortoise,” emerges from Douglas’s shadow to become one of the nation’s greatest leaders. Through the lens of their fierce rivalry—particularly over the issue of slavery—Lincoln and Douglas brings to life a defining era in U.S. history and the resilience that carried Lincoln to the presidency. Don’t miss this insightful look at character, conviction, and political transformation.This program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom.

1904 World’s Fair and Bellefontaine CemeteryOver 120 years ago, St. Louis welcomed 20 million visitors to the Grandest of World’s Fairs from April 30 through December 1, 1904. David R. Francis, President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was vital in securing this event for the City of St. Louis. All eyes turned to St. Louis as the new century was on display in the fair’s larger-than-life palaces, and new technology was front and center throughout the Fair Grounds. In our presentation, we will identify and explain some of the key figures in the creation and execution of the 1904 World’s Fair. Those who are featured in these presentations are forever at rest at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum.
Make it a date night, a family night, or enjoy the presentation by yourself. Reservations are required, so please sign up today!
