“Growing Up in Saint Louis” Exhibit.
Collection, 1988-1991. 1 box
“Growing Up in St. Louis” was an exhibit at the Missouri Historical Society. It depicted
childhood experiences in St. Louis. At the end of the exhibit patrons were invited to write down
their own experiences of growing up in St. Louis.
The papers from the exhibit are the writings of patrons who have viewed the exhibit and have
written down their remembrances of growing up in St. Louis. The experiences are written down
on a form that asked for the patron’s reminiscences about everyday life as well as special events
that figured prominently in their childhood memories. The person’s name, approximate date of
the remembrance, childhood neighborhood, size of family and type of family home are also
asked. Many of the people who participated recall their growing up experiences in the city and
surrounding areas. Many mention similar memories of St. Louis landmarks such as the Arch,
Highland Park, Forest Park, Jefferson Memorial, Art Hill, and the St. Louis Art Museum. Many
also mention similar memories of events such as Cardinal baseball games and the Veiled Prophet
parade and ball. Also includes a series of letters from an elementary school class at Old
Bonhomme School in Olivette, Missouri. These letters are from the children in the class
describing their everyday chores, dress, and hobbies.
