Community Calendar

Join us on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM for a thrilling Author Talk with Ken Zimmerman Jr. as he delves into the dark and dramatic history of St. Louis crime and law enforcement. Based on several of his books, including True Crime, Disasters, and Police Tales of Old St. Louis, Zimmerman’s presentation recounts some of the city’s most shocking events from 1860 to 1909—when St. Louis stood as the largest city west of the Mississippi River.
Buildings are just bricks, wood, and mortar without the stories surrounding these structures. Zimmerman will tell the stories of many of St. Louis’ most recognizable buildings, expanding on the city’s connection to and history of true crime.
This program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on our website, by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689, or by emailing info@fieldhousemuseum.org.

Promoting literacy and freedom of expression, the Pulitzer invites you to join us for Banned Book Club. Inspired by Scott Burton: Shape Shift, the banned books focus on LGBTQ+ identity.

Over 10,000 books were banned in public schools during the 2023-2024 school year, nearly three times the number banned during the previous year. Overwhelmingly, book bans target books on race or racism or featuring characters of color, as well as books with LGBTQ+ characters. We look forward to discussing a few of these books and the important themes they cover.

Meet us at the museum on the second Thursday of each month throughout the exhibition to enjoy light refreshments and discuss the novel of the month with guest facilitators, Sarah Tisdale and Kea Wilson.

If you need to purchase a copy, we are partnering with Left Bank Books and participants will receive 20% off the chosen novel of the month. You can also purchase the novel of the month at the museum front desk or get in touch with your local library.
