A State Divided

During the Civil War Missouri was a state divided, suffering from a fractured identity and caught up in a struggle of no quarter. That violent period of near-anarchy is examined in the traveling exhibit A State Divided: The Civil War in Missouri, a joint effort of the Missouri Humanities Council and the Missouri History Museum. This exhibit follows the “bushwhackers” and “Jayhawkers” whose bitter enmity continues to color the relations between Missourians & Kansans. See website for hours.
