Missouri History Museum

From ancient pueblos to modern suburbs, women have shaped the Western landscape through choices about how to sustain home, family, and community. Home Lands: How Women Made the West brings together women's history, Western history, and environmental history to show how women have been at the heart of the Western enterprise across cultures and over time. Historical artifacts, art, photographs, and biographies of individual women will lead visitors through four distinctive Western environments created and inhabited by women.

Enjoy an exclusive preview of Home Lands: How Women Made the West on Saturday, October 16. Mention "American Arts Experience St. Louis" for entry. Visit the American Arts Experience St. Louis website for information on the festival celebrating American arts in the St. Louis region.
