about the project

This project reflects the efforts of students in a graduate level course offered by UMSL’s Museum Studies, Heritage, and Public History in Spring 2020. As part of their requirements for Dr. Lara Kelland’s HIST 6133 Digital Public History, students researched the history of the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood, wrote interpretive text, and told spatial stories about the area.
