The SCHS has a small archives of artifacts which the Society displays for short times in various places. One of those places that has become a regular over the past few years is the St. Louis County library system. The Tesson Ferry and Oak Bend libraries have allowed SCHS to set up displays in their display cases. Not all of the displays have been from the archives. Some SCHS members have also contributed portions of their personal collections of various kinds to make very fine displays. This program extends to members the chance to share their personal collections of history-related materials with other SCHS members and the public.
Below is a listing of some of the displays that the Society has mounted over the past few years at Tesson Ferry and Oak Bend libraries:
• A sampler of maps and graphic from the Missouri HIstory Museum exhibit, “A Walk in 1875 St Louis.” Oak Bend LIbrary, September 2015.
• “Valentines Through the Years” SCHS display at Tesson Ferry Library in February 2015 organized by Rose Marie Karius.
