Our Juneteenth Program will feature Lynne M. Jackson, descendant of Dred Scott.  She will be sharing the story of emancipation of the Scott family as well as stories of the new Freedom Suit Memorial in STL that was dedicated on the first Juneteenth holiday. With the history of Juneteenth intertwined, she also has a connection to the history of Ste. Genevieve.  You will find these interactions fascinating. 

Reservations are recommended and can be made by visiting the Ste. Genevieve Welcome Center at 66 South Main Street, calling 573-880-7189, or emailing us at stge_visitor_info@nps.gov.
