The Neighborhood History Workshops were featured recently on KWMU's St. Louis on the Air. Click here to listen.

Join your neighbors to learn about tools to explore your neighborhood's history and how to use that history to strengthen your community.

Local experts will share their experiences in using neighborhood history to promote involvement and investment in St. Louis communities. The workshop will include a discussion of successful history projects developed by St. Louis area communities, resources available to research your neighborhood's history, and government programs and incentives to encourage preservation.

Neighborhood History Workshops will be offered on two dates, with slightly different information targeted towards residents in St. Louis City and St. Louis County.
