Next Monthly Meeting
The next monthly meeting will be on
Saturday, 9 May 2026, 10:00 a.m. (Central)
The Missouri Story of the Trail of Tears
Featuring Bill Ambrose
This meeting will be hybrid: in-person at the Clark Family Branch, St. Louis County Library, 1640 South Lindbergh Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63131, and via Zoom.
(A link to a Google map with directions to the library is here.)
The Missouri story of the Trail of Tears—the forced removal of 17,000 Cherokees between 1837 and 1839—is an exploration of the state’s earliest citizens and how many of them helped these indigenous people survive their ordeal. Come meet your ancestors along the trail.
